I, The Breather - Bruised & Broken Lyrics






I built these roads
To find a new hope
A real home
I've been choked
I've felt the weight of a thousand thorns
To hit this stage when I want nothing more

I built these walls
To home the family of the broke and burned
We fell with the things we couldn't see
He picked us back up with his hands that bleed
I know it's hard
I know this pain...
When the ones you love kick you to the streets

We are the bruised and broken
And we refuse to be like you
We are the bruised and broken
And we refuse to be like you
We are the ones who are bruised and broken
We all refuse to be like you
Just open your eyes
There is not much to see
This world is full of hate
And it's the love we need
We won't run
This is our destiny
This is our destiny

God!
Won't you please help them?
Why won't you please help them?
Why won't you please fix this?
Please help them!
Why won't you please help them?
Why won't you please fix this?

We are the bruised and broken
And we refuse to be like you
We are the bruised and broken
And we refuse to be like you
We are the ones who are bruised and broken
We all refuse to be like you

Oh I can't seem to shake this sight (shake this sight)
The sky it burned
And it rained of ashes
We are the bruised and broken
We are the bruised and broken
We are the bruised and broken
And we refuse to be like you

    To all of you non-religious people that are talking about how all religious people are close-minded:
    I am very religious. I've even gpt two bible verses tattooed on me. I do NOT push my beliefs onto other people. A lot pf my best friends are actually athiest. I grew up around marijuana nd though I do not smoke it, I love the smell of it. I do not judge a user of heavy drugs either. If I care about that person, I will ask them to consider quitting (things like meth) for their own safety. I love music even thay speaks strongly against God. I appreciate what someone stands for, even if that too, is strongly against God. I am not judging you, even though you are saying we in religion are all pushy, naive and close-minded.
    With all of thay being said,
    who is it that needs to be more open-minded here?
    God bless.

    Ok, I came to listen to this song, not to walk into a conversation about whether having a religion is good or bad. I'm sure everyone who watches this video does it for the music and doesn't give one fuck about your beliefs. Whether you believe in sniffing farts as Urix9999 does or whether you are atheist and just don't give a shit. So please, just stop. If you have something to say about your religion I'm sure there is some religious video you can go leave your thoughts on, just don't leave them here. Its the internet for fucks sake, so any arguments on here are pointless, you can't win an argument on youtube, I've tried it doesn't work. So instead of bashing someone else's beliefs, just SHUT UP and watch the video instead.

    A.... S....

    Alex Skellington Amen! 😃

  10. U.... ....

    I'm a practiced fart sniffer. If you don't agree with my preference in fart, then you're not welcome here. Inb4 religion talks.

  11. E.... D....

    The difference between religious people and non religious people, is non religious people don't give a damn that religious people ARE religious, while religious people seem to make it their mission in life to force their beliefs onto the non religious. Personally, I think anything that makes a person's life better can't be all bad, but religion is not for me. I'm still open minded enough to enjoy religious music if the music itself is good.

    E.... D....

    I think both sides generally try to force their opinion. I can't even count the number of times an atheist called a christian stupid or whatever, and the other way around too. Doesn't matter your beliefs, just keep them for yourself.

    E.... D....

    @Ariel Ortiz
    Did you actually read my post? Where did I say I was atheist? Here's your reality check. I'm not in a shell, because I don't believe either side yet I'm educated in both sides. That gives me an advantage because I don't have faith or disbelief clouding my views on life. I don't need a book or anyone to tell me I'm a good person and I really don't give a damn if you do. The fact is neither you or atheists have your shit straight, you both only see half the big picture.

    E.... D....

    Thank you for being level-headed on the internet. Dogmatic religious people, and euphoric atheists are very similar in nature.

    E.... D....

    im with you on that

    E.... D....

    Evil D yea man I agree. and I also appreciate the logic here. don't let the irony and hypocrisy break you, this is the hardest test of a man ever and we must endure it to continue on to a better tomorrow. don't let them divide us. love the world and the people in it and we will make this world a heaven on earth!!

  12. I.... J....

    Wow. 

    I am a "pagan".

    I worship and have faith in the ground I walk on, the air I breathe and the water I drink. 

    Is that bad? Fuck no.

    I.... J....

    Who cares.

    I.... J....

    What happens when the ground falls out from beneath you? What does it matter to trust it if it won't 100% save you? What's the point.

  13. T.... C....

    If you love ITB, check out our song 'Fanboy' featuring Shawn Spann!

  14. M.... D....

    I'm agnostic, but I hate religion. I just wish religious people were more open minded about things, just as much as a non religious person was. Religion doesn't do good, it does more harm then people put it out to be. People are just to believe it, and be boxed in and be feared by anything that is outside of what anything that isn't religious, and if they do believe outside the box, then they get criticizes for it and be called out for not being real or fake Christian, when in reality they're the ones who are more real then the religious people are being, they're the ones that are fake. It's backwards. By the way I have respect for the I, the breather they're cool.

    M.... D....

    I understand what you mean man.  I am Christian.  I was raised Catholic but to be honest I'd rather just say I'm Christian.  And I know what you mean about people fearing what is outside their comfort zone.  I'm down for premarital sex ( I think it's essential) and I don't mind gay marriage.  I disagree with A LOT of what Christians preach.  I also hate that some Christians will go and start telling people that they will go to hell.  I have respect for people like you, you aren't talking shit.  You're being real, which a lot of religious and non-religious people fail to do.

    M.... D....

    Exactly my point, life and love should be universal. If people have to believe in a religion to know that then clearly they are blind, anybody has the right for love and life, nobody should be deceived to be going to hell if they don't believe in God. God is an idea and a tool to structure the pursuit of life and as well as love, anybody should be accepted to that regardless of not believing God or not.

    M.... D....

    @MichiganMike15 My view is that the bible was created to teach morals to people, not meant to be interpreted as it is now. It seems be like a massive cult now, but that's beside the point. I like the bible for the morals it's supposed to teach but not the way that some people interpret it.

    M.... D....

    If that's the case then the churches have really screwed it up.

    M.... D....

    +chris katzer this is almost EXACTLY how I look at the bible man. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

  15. c.... ....

    Agnostic and atheist are two different things. To be agnostic means you're not sure if heaven, hell and all that exists. To be atheist means you believe that none of that exist. Therefore you cant be agnostic and atheist at the same time.

  16. Z.... F....

    Thank you. and unlike other people im not going to force my beliefs on you.. i respect you for that comment. well have a great life.

  17. B.... R....

    I am agnostic, but can you explain agnostic atheist? Just curious haha no hate.

  18. T.... W....

    DO YOU LIKE NEW MUSIC?!

    Check out our new singles "Crestfallen" & "Lessons and Losses"
    Youtube: watch?v=W0eRujlD4eg

  19. B.... ....

    its his opinion, why would you care?

  20. D.... ....

    the internet needs more people like you! ;)

  21. Z.... F....

    depends on your perspective.. for me yes for others no. but we should all get along and respect others beliefs.. I love i the breather

  22. M.... K....

    Guthrie! <3

  23. T.... H....

    Yeahhh!!! Pizza and ITB are amazing!:D

  24. f.... ....

    these comments are just disgusting. really I'm ashamed of even being human right now, because of you guys. Has humanity become that immature?

    f.... ....

    fighter5091 Seems as though. >.>

  25. O.... B....

    YEAH!!!

  26. L.... ....

    This is so funny and sad. I have a message for all of you angry idiots that are arguing about religions and the meaning of the song and all that crap. Let other people have their own opinions. Don't be a dick and hate on other people because of their beliefs and opinions. You all need to shut the fuck up, go home, calls down, get a life as stop hating on people because of their opinions and beliefs.

  27. I.... ....

    at least we all love pizza!!!!!!!

  28. A.... Y....

    Stop arguing about shit that doesn't matter, this is a song not a discussion. So please, listen to the music.

  29. A.... L....

    Exactly the same here, we should give eachother a highfive through the internet or something.

  30. A.... ....

    That is an opinion you ass fuck... Just like being an ignorant Atheist is a pretty dumb idea. You do realize most religions accept science and evolution as a part of God's creation? I mean seriously. To say we all started from amino acids in the primordial soup is pretty ignorant. If the Universe repeats itself constantly, what makes you think something greater out there like a prime architect didn't create us.

  31. D.... S....

    We are bruised and broken, and we REFUSE to be like you.

  32. m.... p....

    saw these guys at mayhem they were amazing

  33. T.... ....

    What do you mean? Lol there are plenty of amazing bands on Sumerian. Born of Osirs, Periphery, The HAARP Machine, just to name a few..

  34. S.... ....

    I'm no christian by any means, but what do you really accomplish? Coexist dude, grow a pair and just fuck off about it.

  35. S.... ....

    And you're ignorant as fuck.

  36. A.... ....

    lol its so fun to troll christians

  37. S.... ....

    FACT: god is dead ...

    S.... ....

    SkullObsessed69 For 1, Opinion, cause not everyone agrees.
    For 2, it's a song. Leave religion out of it and just listen to it.

  38. s.... ....

    Best comment ever! : ' )

  39. c.... n....

    this is a christian band you twit

  40. W.... ....

    What are the lyrics at 1:49 ?? Please!? someone?

  41. L.... ....

    This band isnt satanic this song is about politics and if they were satanic Shawn, singer, wouldn't have a cross tattoo behind his ear.

  42. p.... ....

    My God. Just scroll through the comments really steams me. Who cares what they are! I wish arguments about genre started up again.

  43. p.... ....

    This band has been sent from God.

    p.... ....

    pharaohgirgzz Got that right! 😊

  44. S.... ....

    Nope. Capture the Crown

  45. J.... M....

    I am in no way a religious person. I listen to this band because they make good music. Period.

  46. j.... ....

    This deserve way more views because I the Breather is fucking sweet and the lyrics give me chills down my spine!

  47. J.... C....

    JESUS LOVES YOU ALL!

  48. D.... M....

    And Born Of Osiris' new album, and After the Burial, and Circle of Contempt, and Conducting From The Grave, and Periphery (In America), and Upon a Burning Body, and The Faceless lol xD I'll bet there are a couple I forgot.

  49. J.... R....

    Don't forget betraying the martyrs.

  50. J.... R....

    LOOK UP "EVERYRONE DIES IN UTAH" ITS THE NAME OF THE BAND

  51. J.... V....

    everyone shutup about religion and listen to the fucking song. also no one should be hating on any band signed to sumerian unless its asking alexandria

  52. E.... C....

    the screamer sounds kinda like Levin Benton

  53. T.... �....

    God doesn't exist

  54. J.... O....

    MORE! 0:25

  55. G.... ....

    veil of maya are you kidding me kid your an idiot for real

  56. G.... ....

    structures suck nuts bro

  57. G.... ....

    That's cause it'll go on forever and everyone will be pissed off.

  58. K.... ....

    You guys are better live. Saw you guys out in az I caught the lead singers water and it was awesome.

  59. R.... B....

    God dammit, God

  60. C.... S....

    Like if you came for the music not the religion.

    C.... S....

    Clint Sommers I did! 🙋

  61. M.... ....

    Don't fucking start this shit

  62. D.... N....

    FACT: God is real

  63. J.... S....

    whats wrong with veil of maya?

  64. C.... ....

    Saw them yesterday in toledo ohio was sick.

  65. K.... S....

    nice play show at fubar st louis

  66. N.... S....

    This album is produced a lot better in my opinion, you can hear the guitars a lot better and it's overall a very balanced sound

  67. N.... H....

    One of the only good bands on this label. ITB and Structures are the only good ones.

  68. J.... ....

    Miss may I used to be good, now they've gone all gay and crappy, it's really sad

  69. g.... ....

    yeah, except hes a whole lot better, and this band in general is better than miss gay i

  70. N.... W....

    Anyone else who thinks he sounds a lot like Levy Benton?

  71. B.... ....

    Outro is sick. listen to it at 6:30 am every morning on my way to work. Godmorning.

  72. i.... ....

    cool story bro. I love people enough to offend them with the truth in order to save their soul from hell.

  73. S.... ....

    the vocalist sorta reminds me of the vocalist from the tony danza tapdanze extravaganza. like a lil bit. i

  74. j.... ....

    cant wait to see them in yuma az next month

  75. C.... S....

    youre thinking of a deist, agnostic means youre not sure about there being a god, deist believe that there is a higher power, but does not believe that he intervenes in human affairs such as miracles and karma

  76. I.... L....

    the vocal seems like Tyler Carter O_o

  77. c.... t....

    More accurately, "Agnostic" refers to a lack of interest or knowledge surrounding the existence of a "god".

  78. c.... t....

    You are a joke if you think you have sort of wisdom with that statement. A "personal relationship with God" translates into "I am deluded and clearly don't understand the dynamics of religion."

  79. i.... ....

    I agree. religions are stupid. That's why I have a relationship with God

    i.... ....

    infallibleghost ME TOO!! 😀

    i.... ....

    Amen to that brother

  80. h.... ....

    religion is the stupidest thing to ever exist. shut the fuck up and enjoy the music

  81. G.... ....

    Because calling him that makes us Christians look really high and mighty, doesnt it? Stay quiet and dont make us look bad.

  82. a.... ....

    Sounds like every other metalcore/post-hardcore band ever. :/

  83. i.... ....

    God wants and needs you

  84. r.... ....

    Here's a crazy fucking idea.. let people have their own opinions. I KNOW I KNOW ITS CRAZY

  85. B.... A....

    I know you weren't asking me, but what music you listen to has nothing to do with whether you're Christian or not.

  86. m.... ....

    so am i an agnostic if i beleive in God, but dont pray or anything, and listen to what i like?

  87. S.... ....

    These guys were fucking amazing at Mayhem Fest yesterday, the bass was so hard I literally thought my ear drums were going to pop.

  88. G.... V....

    Is that really necessary?

  89. T.... ....

    Some atheistfag is mad

  90. W.... ....

    its when you belive in a higher power not really a religion i think

  91. A.... ....

    Wouldn't have known about this if it weren't for that CD I got a warped. Hell yeah. This is amazing. :D

  92. m.... ....

    what's an agnostic?

  93. m.... ....

    r a a free mason or are u in the illumanti or some shit?
    FUCK YOU

  94. K.... ....

    They were one of my favorite bands to see at Mayhem. They put on an excellent show and sound just like what they do on the album. Love these guys!

  95. C.... E....

    I saw them at Mayhem, but I only caught half of this song. I was more worried about Anthrax's setlist, but I enjoyed the two minutes of this song live. Since Mayhem I've listened to their whole Truth and Purpose album, and I really enjoyed it. This band is THE SHIT!

  96. C.... J....

    I've listened to your first album over 100 fucking times, your music is either god damn amazing or I'm autistic..

  97. V.... ....

    It's a fuzzy line considering a band as a whole as a djent band. Djent is a playstyle, not a genre, so yes, some songs have djent characteristics, but calling a band a djent band is rather difficult unless they are entirely devoted to the playstyle, which is always debatable.

  98. W.... D....

    @Wrath12x

    I was there in atl bro. fucking solid.
