Bequest

There's an angel on my shoulder She drags me 'cross the border Of the thin line that divides up my desires and my morals Her voice is like no other She sounds just like my mother And it keeps me on the better side In my heart there is a wisdom For when I'm smart enough to listen It's strength and intuition Through the hardest of decisions And I hold that like an honor It's passed down from my father And it keeps me on the better sidе I wish I could give back what you gave But you wouldn't want that anyway, so I'll exist in dеbts unpaid By bequest, here's my best Can we call it thanks? By bequest, here's my best Can we call it thanks There's a softness in my spirit On my best days, you can hear it It's fearlessness against this life's impending disappearance Its a faith in something bigger I stole that from my sister It keeps me on that better side There's an empathy in leaving An understanding through deceiving A trust in falling out of touch Then picking up the pieces 'Cause no one really knows you Like the ones you grew up close to To keep you on the better side I wish I could give back what you gave But you wouldn't want that anyway, so I'll exist in debts unpaid By bequest, here's my best Can we call it thanks? By bequest, here's my best Can we call it thanks? I stood in the basement At your visitation I thanked you in silence I made up my mind then This fate that We're finite It's a wave from the skyline So hold me like you know we're in the undertow I thank you, forever 'Til everything ends By bequest, here's the lesson The best I can give I wish I could give back what you gave But you wouldn't want that anyway, so I'll exist in debts unpaid By bequest, here's my best Can we call it thanks? By bequest, here's my best Can we call it thanks?
