Monster's Waltz - The Invisible

His honesty was concentric

To where he lives at the periphery

Spin the governor’s world

Became the force that governed him

His need for affirmation

Kept on spinning him

Spin the governor’s world

Became a raging force within

Speeches and manifestos

And statements of intent

Came up in conversation

Were tested on his friends

Conflict and antagonism

Were no stranger to him

Familiar is the shifting

From day to night and day again

And he would find the tide

To swim against it

And he would find the tide

To swim against it

And he would find the tide

To swim against it

So he too could be injured

By the power of…

Trouble

Trouble

The role he sought to inhabit

Was dual in its nature

Innocent as a dove

Cunning as a serpent

He toyed with this image

And the (???)

Innocence was lost

His spirit crushed, his soul

If misery was a prison cell

It was not of his making

But he couldn’t shake the feeling

He was complicit in his own sentencing
