Broken Loaf

[Verse 1] In the city streets Where hunger breeds A broken loaf A symbol of our needs But the baker's hands They never seem to mend Stuck in a cycle that never ends (Oh-yeah) [Verse 2] Drownin' in the dough Lost in the rise But reality bites Can't escape the lies Every crumb we slice Is a piece of our soul But the darkness prevails It takes its toll [Verse] In the bright city lights Where dreams ignite A loaf torn apart A hunger we fight (oh-yeah) But the baker's hands They work day and night Trapped in a cycle No end in sight [Verse] Swimming in the dough Lost in the rise Reality bites Can't hide from the lies Each crumb we break A fragment of our souls But darkness persists Taking its toll [Chorus] We're catchin' crumbs Tryin' to survive (tryin' to survive) In this broken loaf We strive to thrive (strive to thrive) But the hunger grows We're reaching the ledge (reaching the ledge) Can we mend the cycle and break this bread? (break this bread) [melodic, acoustic] [Verse] In the city streets Where hunger breeds A broken loaf A symbol of our needs But the baker's hands They never seem to mend Stuck in a cycle that never ends (Oh-yeah) [Verse 2] Drownin' in the dough Lost in the rise But reality bites Can't escape the lies Every crumb we slice Is a piece of our soul But the darkness prevails It takes its toll
