Analysis of Unbreakable
Russell D. Nomer 1972 (NEW YORK)
And when I touched your soul I saw the moon burst into flames...
Bleeding darkness onto the golden canvas of dawn...like a painting sealed with pain
And when I sailed your tears through endless time...I found a sunlit beach
But, when I swam to reach your shores...
It moved forever out of reach
And when I finally fall apart
When I'm shattered and insane
When I laugh but cry inside
Please, don't ever call my name
Tear me apart and turn me into music
Break me apart and build me into song
