You were born as an angel
Held in your mother’s arms
But some kind of devil
Must have done you some harm
And you grew up with that friction
Tangled up with your charm
But it doesn’t become you
To become what you are
And they taught you their bible
Showed you right from wrong
When you were young and able
You swallowed every song
Some brightness kept burning
Deep rings in your walls
With time like it’s turning
Each spring into fall
And you tore up your bible
To no one belonged
Your Cain killed your Abel
The last of your sons
And you lost all your earnings
Ran away with my mind
Left with the yearning
Of a poet’s last line
And you’ll leave them your bible
To learn when they’re young
Now that you’re old and able
To know what you’ve done
Bitter like you wanted
Bitter like you wanted
Bitter like you wanted
Bitter like you wanted
Bitter like you wanted
Bitter like you wanted
