Cowardice -

Everytime I disgraced

I felt like I was on top of the world

A flash in the pan had laid me

Right where I wanted to be

Suffering’s never enough

‘Cause surely my soul was as sharp as my teeth

I’m in between right and wrong—a blurry line

A change happened to me…

I’ve grown crooked up the fence

‘Cause I couldn’t pick a side

I didn’t follow the outset

The waves forebode a storm was coming for me

But I had plans of my own

-A couple of cards stashed deep in my sleeve

I’ve grown crooked up the fence

‘Cause I couldn’t pick a side

Don’t I feel strange…

‘Twas coming along

-My great design

It had come…

And who was I not to believe?

Yah dahdahdah dah-

Daah dahdah dahdah

Yah dahdahdah dum

I’d been blessed

No more that weak, pathetic twig on the fence

How would it feel to prove you wrong?

Let’s wait and see…

Look how my conscience was cleared!

There’s no more bothering

No chirping nonsense on my shoulder

All whispers melted to sighs

And you fell silent

Speaking nothing of my insurrection

I was glad to finally be rid of

All you piquing beggars

You had bound me safely to the tightrope

I was kept from making the dive

My dear, at the bottom I found solace

Seeking what I once thought the end

Caught in the triumph

I saw myself brighter than ever before

And the chaos and wonder inside my head?

O' I couldn’t hear anymore!

I flourished, the fever I had was gone

-A plashet of oil and tar

The outside now echoed my victory

I shined like a star!

Then I made to look inside myself

And I found nothing I could value

So I took my head down from the clouds

And I pulled out that spear
