ezra furman - temple of broken dreams lyrics
[verse 1]
when you’re far from home i do believe its fair
to use a public bathroom mirror to cut your hair
in a cheap southampton diner
i am both samson and delilah
as i chain myself to the pillars of nowhere
and i walk back to the booth where i was sat
with my transformation hidden ‘neath my hat
that’s when suddenly it strikes me
all the lonely pilgrims like me
form a tribe of travelers scattered across the map
[chorus]
so lets defy the distance here to there
that’s write еach other postcards and call it prayer
lets congrеgate in a place that isn’t anywhere
at the temple of broken dreams
[verse 2]
you’re a collection of the shards that you can save
we’re all destined for perfection in the grave
until then when struggle ceases
we’re just juggling the pieces
like a waitress with too many empty plates
we work so hard to keep holding the line
the human heart that starts out broken by design
if we ever did defeat this
fundamental incompleteness
there’d be no more love or care or sp+ce or time
[chorus]
so lets defy the distance here to there
let’s write each other and call that prayer
lets meet up in a place that isn’t anywhere
at the temple of broken dreams
[bridge]
oooh+ooh
aahh+ahhh+ahh
[verse 3]
so i’m back at the wheel of my chevy shrine
i can feel all of your dreams mingling with mine
just because those dreams are shattered
doesn’t mean they can’t matter
we’ll arrange them in mosaic over time
now the future is looking rough and so is the past
luckily the present moment’s where we’re trapped
we’re all losers we’re all gamblers
we’re all bugs frozen in amber
small eternities that never seem to last
[chorus]
so lets organize our lives around love and care
lets write each other letters and call it prayer
lets congregate in a place that isn’t anywhere
at the temple of broken dreams
at the temple of broken dreams
yes, at the temple of broken dreams
