[00:00.68]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
