Story Behind The Song
The song was inspired by the horrible things that I saw teen-agers doing. School shootings, rapes, drugs, hate crimes and general disrepect for society and rules.
Song Description
This song talks about a hateful, vendictive, nasty person who is "broken". The person singing the song wants to believe that the subject of the song can change...but it is looking very obvious that will never happen. A reflection on an insane - disconnected individual in society. God knows we have plenty of them in todays world!

Lyrics
YOU FEAR - YOU STRIKE
DESTROY - YOU FIGHT
YOU NURTURE YOUR DYSFUNCTIONAL MIND
LIKE A WANNA-BE PSYCHOPATH
YOU THINK TOO LATE
CURSE LOVE - LOVE HATE
YOUR PARANOIA BLOCKS THE TRUTH
THAT ECHOS IN YOUR HEART
(CHORUS)
BROKEN - SHATTERED
NOTHING MATTERS
BROKEN -SHATTERED
DREAMS ARE SCATTERED
CREATE THE LIE
SO HOPE CAN DIE
AFRAID TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR
FOR YOU MIGHT SEE WHAT YOU 'VE BECOME
YOU RANT - YOU RAVE
CAN YOU BE SAVED
YOUR GOD IS GREED - YOU'VE SOWED YOUR SEED
AND TIME WILL TELL IF IT WILL GROW
(CHORUS)
BROKEN - SHATTERED
NOTHING MATTERS
BROKEN -SHATTERED
DREAMS ARE SCATTERED
(BRIDGE)
TELL ME I'M WRONG
TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE
SHOW ME THE LOVE
I PRAY IT LIVES IN YOU
(LEAD GUITAR SOLO)
YOUR HEART IS VOID
YOUR WORDS DESTROY
WHEN DESPERATION COMES TO CALL
THERE'S NO ESCAPE
THAT'S WHEN YOU'LL LOSE
(CHORUS)
BROKEN - SHATTERED
NOTHING MATTERS
BROKEN -SHATTERED
DREAMS ARE SCATTERED
BROKEN, BROKEN, BROKEN, BROKEN
