Bent Words

May 04, 2022

Slowly but surely, bit by bit, leave yourself a little more behind
Until you’ve almost disappeared
With no one to pay you no mind

You knew who you were, you know what you did
Not all of it was pretty
But then you were just a kid

Now what you believe and what you don’t
Is handled by someone else
Who apparently seems to know

So just sit back down, and wait your Goddamn turn
It will come soon enough
The freedom for which you yearn

No more wrong moves, no more mistakes
No more will you need to question
If you’ve got what it takes

Slowly but surely, bit by bit, leave yourself a little more behind
Don’t think you’ll be starting over
We don’t get the chance to rewind

Seen my share of
Broken halos
Folded wings that used to fly

They've all gone
Wherever they go
Broken halos that used to shine

Angels come down
From the heavens
Just to help us on our way
Come to teach us
Then they leave us
And they find some other soul to save
Seen my share of
Broken halos
Folded wings that used to fly

They've all gone
Wherever they go
Broken halos that used to shine
Broken halos that used to shine

Don't go looking
For the reasons
Don't go asking
Jesus why?
We're not meant to know the answers
They belong to the by and by
They belong to the by and by

Seen my share of
Broken halos
Folded wings that used to fly
They've all gone
Wherever they go
Broken halos that used to shine
