the helio sequence - broken afternoon - solo lyrics

[verse 1]
sometimes you feel like a shame or like a ruse
a half cooked idea or a trick to be used
and sometimes you feel so lowly halted and stark
waving in the wind like a flag that’s torn apart

[chorus]
but we all walk blindly when we stagger and we strut
and we’re all dealt the hand with the cards of our luck
and we all bow down silent at the words when we’re struck
by the shameless light of the broken afternoon

[verse 2]
i went walking in the night all alone
darkness seeping slowly in my flesh and in my bone
and the solitary biting at the thoughts inside my head
and the words came slowly and the unborn dream said

[chorus]
that we all lose the path to the black and the blue
but we are come back slackly to the tried and the true
we’ll all come together, no it’s never too soon
we’ll all see the light of the broken afternoon

[verse 3]
in the scientific evening jesus left too soon
trading his last dollar for a dirty motel room
cause he gave all his riches before he knew what he had
money isn’t evil and people aren’t bad
[chorus]
no we all just descend down to the mud and the dirt
and we all go insane from the pain and the hurt
and all of us are swayed by the hungry pale moon
and we all wake up clear in the broken afternoon

[verse 4]
i used to be young but i’m not old now
the shimmering passing of youth’s gaudy bow
the path to now or never is paved with ambition plain
as a sail in the wind or an empty garden sp+ce

[chorus]
that we all till and toil in the slowly rising dawn
and we’re all fit to fail ‘til the future’s finally won
yeah we’re all faintly waiting for the unripe to bloom
in the shuttering light of the broken afternoon
