[Verse 1]
My buddy Jeff blew his brains out
On the south shore of the lake
A lifetime of whatever
Was more than he could take
He helped me build my house
Yeah, he helped a lot of folks
He gave his time and is money
He was perpetually broke
Few months before he did it
I was deep inside a hole
Shame fell for the things I had done
He was the only onе that saw me
Lost in the abyss
Don't remеmber it exactly
But he said something like this

[Chorus]
Everybody is broken
Sad and alone
Everybody is driftin'
Long without a home
Everybody is shattered
And burdened with flaws
But nobody is a lost cause
[Verse 2]
He had a tattoo on his arm
Of a stupid cartoon man
Pokin' out from behind a little wall
You asked him what it was
He'd say: "That's Murphy, you know? Murphy's law
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong"
And it did and it will
Again and again
For as long as we are all alive
When a person is stuck in a terrifying pit
Only thing you can do is try to help them out of it

[Chorus]
Everybody is broken
Sad and alone
Everybody is driftin'
Along without a home
Everybody is shattered
And burdened with flaws
But nobody is a lost cause

[Outro]
Yeah everybody is broken
Sad and alone
Everybody is driftin'
Along without a home
Everybody is shattered
And burdened with flaws
But nobody is a lost cause
