Lyrics:

Broken Crayons
Ellee Duke/Daniel Pashman

Verse
The birds all sing
The kids all play
My Uncle took his life today
Too damn special to go like that
Keep tellin’ God to send him back
I’ve felt some pain
Had some really dark days in my atmosphere
Twenty-three years
So bitter sweet wear your heart on your sleeve
I’ve cried some tears
But I’m still here

Hook
I hope you will discover
Broken crayons they still color
I learned it from my mother
Broken crayons they still color
When you’re sadder than a shade of blue
And only pieces are what’s left of you
Don’t lose your hope
Wear all your scars
Soon enough all of your pain will be a work of art

Verse 2
Feel insane
Numb the pain
Tip the bottle
Feel ok
I swear the rains not gonna stay
The sun will shine the storm away

Hook

I’ve felt some pain
Had some really dark days in my atmosphere
Twenty-three years

Hook

Repeat Hook
I hope you will discover
Broken crayons they still color
I learned it from my mother
Broken crayons they still color
When you’re sadder than a shade of blue
And only pieces are what’s left of you
Don’t lose your hope
Wear all your scars
Soon enough all of your pain will be a work of art
