lyrics

Verse 1

Keeping up appearances
(appearances)
Running from the fear of this
(The fear of this)
Drown it out with another kiss
(Another kiss)
You feel ashamed
Of what you promised

You broke bread and flesh
Keep you running
(They keep you running)
Nothing short of what is becoming
(What it’s becoming)
Dance with death,
And you feeling nothing
(You feeling nothing)
Chase this heartache away

Chorus

Broken Valentine
Broken Valentine
Gunshots on my mind
Broken Valentine

Rap Verse

Man you ain’t act right
You bought to cop a fight
You got a motherfucker down
And so damn uptight
And now you in my sights
And I nigga do fucking bite
(Hard)
And she pleading on her knees for some sense of understanding
Instead she fends now for herself, the world has just abandoned
But the world is fucking cruel, would rather see you on your knees
And you’re the only one in which you need to just believe

You gotta free your mental Columbine
You see his body falling
And now he’s Father Time

You get the goose quick
When you aimless
From the cyanide you chasing
Them boys floating in the matrix
Thinking it’s in an antidote to the vacant
And you’re a still built human in the motherfucking making
Nobody can change that shit but you steady escaping
I got just the drug you need for this hazy situation
Now he can’t keep his damn body from fucking shaking

Chorus

Broken Valentine
Broken Valentine
Gunshots on my mind
Broken Valentine

Verse 2

The violence is the baby we both raised
He spoke us truth and now he’s lying in his grave
Today
Everybody wanna eat the rich
But nobody wanna feed the community
Politicians band together that’s why they get full immunity
It’s like we’ve had a sedative
Is everything I say so damn repetitive
You ain’t gotta listen
But you feel
You ain’t gotta listen
But you gotta heal
