Covenant Lyrics
I’ve gotta break this crutch of mine
And let it sink for what it’s worth
But every bone moves out of time
When we believe we’re
Tied to a past, running lines
A kinship to shame, a “loving” spite
Bow down, recite
All the words that keep this hurt alive
Consigned to strive
A slave to the grind
No cadence
No reason
No saving what’s been beaten
Look closer and you’ll find
A bitter covenant resides
Bound like the flock who falls inline
Constrained by the ones who gave you life
Write your side
Feel the heat as you start to see the sky
Open with each eye
And leave this behind
As you feel my spirit recede
Know that I had found
A real sense of trust in you
No cadence
No reason
No saving what’s been beaten
Look closer and you’ll find
A bitter covenant resides
Turn it around see the black clouds cover
Show ‘em the face of a hope discovered
Yet the past pulls hard and fast to be
Our present scene
No cadence
No reason
No saving what’s been beaten
Look closer and you’ll find
A bitter covenant resides
And let it sink for what it’s worth
But every bone moves out of time
When we believe we’re
A kinship to shame, a “loving” spite
All the words that keep this hurt alive
Consigned to strive
A slave to the grind
No reason
No saving what’s been beaten
Look closer and you’ll find
A bitter covenant resides
Constrained by the ones who gave you life
Feel the heat as you start to see the sky
Open with each eye
And leave this behind
Know that I had found
A real sense of trust in you
No reason
No saving what’s been beaten
Look closer and you’ll find
A bitter covenant resides
Show ‘em the face of a hope discovered
Yet the past pulls hard and fast to be
Our present scene
No reason
No saving what’s been beaten
Look closer and you’ll find
A bitter covenant resides

A covenant by definition is an agreement. I think how it applies in this song is that this arrangement was a bitter one that became so toxic it was beyond salvaging.
