E B
So slowly I'm losing
Abm E
who I've sworn to be.
E B
a promise in pencil
Abm E
that years have made so hard to read.
E B
I've spent my life building walls
Abm E
brick by brick and bruise by bruise...
E B Abm Gb
a birdcage religion that whispered me to sleep.
E B
but time is spinning silk
Abm E
that coils ruthlessly
E B
with the devil's patience,
Abm E
it binds my hands so quietly
Gb E Gb
that soon it becomes a part of me.
E B Abm E
so soften these edges and straighten out my tie.
E B
and help me remember
Abm E
the hope that I have compromised.
Gb E Gb
please be a broken record for me.
