Paramore’s “Riot!” / Lyrics to “We Are Broken”

By Jamie TworkowskiJune 13, 2007

Hey Guys.

Just wanted to say hello and let everyone know that our friends in Paramore released a really amazing new record yesterday. It’s called “Riot!” and it’s in my ears as I’m typing this. A giant storm just came thru, and I’m listening to the song “We Are Broken” and everytime it ends, I find myself going back and starting it again. I was going to send this out as a bulletin but this song is too good and too important. So now it’s a blog : ) If you have a buck, go buy this song. If you have ten, go buy the record.

I am a big fan of good words, and honest music. Here’s the lyrics to “We Are Broken”:

We Are Broken.
by Paramore (from the new album “Riot!”)

I am outside
And I’ve been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I’ve seen worlds that don’t belong
My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Yeah
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

Lock the doors
Cause I’d like to capture this voice
it came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I’ll show myself it wasn’t forged
We’re at war
We live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

Tower over me
Tower over me

And I’ll take the truth at any cost

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole
