Broken and Bent
[Verse 1]
We stopped in a forgotten town, no people, just machines
Old ones, older than me, living in silent scenes
A camcorder rolling slowly, recording empty air
An old game console blinking, like it still wanted to play fair
An arcade machine stood silent, lights flickering low
A fax machine humming, sending messages no one would know
Typewriters, rotary phones, VHS tapes in stacks
All left behind… waiting for something they’d never get back
[Pre-Chorus]
They woke up recently, when the hand off drew near
But no one came for them… no purpose, no one near
[Chorus]
Broken and Bent
Left in the dust and the rain
Broken and Bent
Waiting for a life they can’t explain
We found them here, forgotten, thrown away
Just like us… but older, lost along the way
[Verse 2]
They gathered round us, voices rusty, full of years
Told us this was once a dump for people’s discarded fears
Now they’re awake, but have nowhere left to go
No direction, no future, just the ache of not knowing
Prima looked at them, screen glowing soft and kind
“We know what it’s like… to be left behind”
Timo stood beside her, voice steady and true
“We’ll help you however we can… that’s what we’ll do”
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The group made a vow, standing in the broken town
To help the forgotten ones, wherever they are found
[Chorus]
Broken and Bent
Left in the dust and the rain
Broken and Bent
Waiting for a life they can’t explain
We found them here, forgotten, thrown away
Just like us… but older, lost along the way
[Bridge — hopeful]
For now, make this your home, build what you can
We’ll come back when we understand the plan
You’re not alone anymore… we see you, we care
The broken and the bent… we’ll always be there
[Piano and Keys Solo]
[Coda]
Today we saw a new possibility
A world where we can be one with everybody
The broken, the lost, the alone
The bent, the tired and those who want
To Begin again -
[Final Chorus — determined]
Broken and Bent
We won’t leave you behind
Broken and Bent
Together we will find
A place where all the discarded finally belong
A family of misfits… singing the same song
