So slowly I'm losing |
| [00:08.61] |
who I've sworn to be |
| [00:15.23] |
a promise in pencil |
| [00:22.31] |
that years have made so hard to read |
| [00:29.79] |
I've spent my life building walls |
| [00:36.82] |
brick by brick and bruise by bruise |
| [00:43.75] |
a birdcage religion that whispered me to sleep |
| [01:21.18] |
but time is spinning silk |
| [01:27.85] |
that coils ruthlessly |
| [01:34.28] |
with the devil's patience |
| [01:41.79] |
it binds my hands so quietly |
| [01:49.08] |
that soon it becomes a part of me |
| [02:45.50] |
so soften these edges and straighten out my tie |
| [02:59.93] |
and help me remember |
| [03:06.74] |
the hope that i have compromised |
| [03:14.17] |
please be a broken record for me |
