Broken Words

Tastes like blood

The truth was torn from a liars tongue
Broken words will taste like blood
The bigger picture has become
small in a frame, gathering dust
23 years in these eyes
was all it took to realize
each moment now is all the time
A star is born and another dies

If heaven is a place on earth,
his golden roads covered with dirt
I hope my faith will carry worth
when I find my place and return
