[Verse 1]
I'm a broken cord in a half played song
(oo-yeah!)
A violin screech where it don't belong
Got the rhythm but I lost the rhyme
Glitch in the groove
Stuck in time
Stuck in time
[Prechorus]
(What it is? What it ain't?)
A scratch in the vinyl
A smudge on the paint
Can't rewind
No escape
No escape
[Chorus]
I'm a broken cord
Yeah
Can't you hear?
(Oh, can't you hear?)
Echoes in the dark
Drawing near
The strings are frayed
The bow's all wrong
I'm a broken cord in a half played song
[Verse 2]
A shadow dancing where the spotlight fades
(uh-huh!)
Melody hiding in the mess I made
Each note's a crack
Each beat's a fall
Tryna climb
But I hit the wall
Hit the wall
[Bridge]
Oh
It's a funked-up symphony
With jazz hands waving in misery
(oo-oo!)
The glitch is the glitch is the soul of me
And I play on
Yeah
I play on
[Chorus]
I'm a broken cord
Yeah
Can't you hear?
(Oh, can't you hear?)
Echoes in the dark
Drawing near
The strings are frayed
The bow's all wrong
I'm a broken cord in a half played song
