Broke Wide Open Lyrics - Singles - Bane

Just one quick glance was all that it took 

Trapped in your stare of judgement 

As we pass each other on the street 

And I look into your robot eyes as you make your careful calculations 

I choke on your perfume as you file me into lower class 

The moment stretches as I hear the cries of everyone 

That you have stepped on so many throats 

Bled dry to get to who you are today 

A lifetime spent swinging the sharpest of knives 

Oh how I'd like to take it all away 

One twitch of the finger one moment of heart felt compassion 

Break you wide open 

Stare straight through your center 

A lifetime spent with so little sweat 

That nothing in you grew nothing but vanity and twisted wires 

From a rusted heart that slightly resembles a cash register 

Just one look that says it all 

While you figure out just what I'm worth 

And that's the best that you've got 

That and a thousand dollar handbag 

How'd I like to wash it all away 

There is a middle in you somewhere 

Break it open 

For the world to see one quick beautiful violent motion 

A lifetime spent swinging the sharpest of knives 

And you wonder why I am so obsessed with guns...
