Intro: Just when I thought I had handled solace I could soften my guard behind false confidence Just when I felt humbled by insipid Except from this blind side and from reading a script Cause I am seduced by reaction and under the influence I'm slipping again I'm up to my tricks off my wagon I have no defense I'm reaking havoc wreaking havoc in consequence I get reduced by my own willfulness as I reach for my usual god replacements Cause I wish for sanction it lacks in my steps Forgiveness is understanding that Affirming a compact for the millionth time On this tumbling house of cards of mine I am beaten by my impulsiveness By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret Cause I'm repulsed by restriction at least that's my excuse CHORUS (2x)
