I'd still be sitting in my bedroom in a corner
up against the wall
if it had not been for you
trying to pry somebody new out of this empty shell
and we would never know the truth
that the world does have a use
for the broken and abused
and that we have nothing to lose
inside these prison cells
We could be half way to Chicago, or, Madrid
if you would only call
and we could rectify our youth
do all the things we didnt do
when we were scared as hell
That we'd never find the truth
and that the world wont have a use
for the broken and abused
and that we have nothing to prove
unless its to ourselves
but, the heart and mind are complex ecosystems
that are filled with doubt
and with beauty and regret
but I ain't met no one yet who didn't have the fear
That they'd never find the truth
and that the world wont have a use
for the broken and abused
but if you have nothing to lose
it becomes quite clear
We're all looking for the truth
and the world does have a use
and we're all broken and abused
but we have nothing to prove
unless its to ourselves

Micah is one of my favorite songwriters around, and also an all around gentleman and scholar. Both his solo work and his work with Two Cow Garage seem to work their way into my regular music rotation with ease. doug shaw
