So Slowly, I Am Losing
Who I′ve Sworn To Be
A Promise In PencilThat Years Have Made So Hard To Read
I've Spent My Life Building Walls
Brick By Brick And Bruise By Bruise
A Birdcage Religion That Whispered Me To Sleep

Time Is Spinning Silk
That Coils Ruthlessly
With The Devil′s Patience
It Binds My Hands So Quietly
That Soon It Becomes A Part Of Me

So Soften These Edges And Straighten Out My Tie
And Help Me Remember
The Hope That I Have Compromised
Please Be A Broken Record For Me
