Indulgence By Proxy - Tourniquet

It’s not me, it’s not mine

Without this shadow my life would shine

Get this monkey off my back

Then I’ll choose a better tack

Parameters set far too narrow

Pavement turns to broken gavel

Ten commandments become suggestions

My ordered life starts to unravel

The square is always equal to the sum of the hypotenuse

When you don’t believe that what you reap is what you sow — you lose

Indulgence by proxy a rope wound seven times, climb the stairs

Drop the platform, brings an end to my crimes

The gavel fell with such a force

I found my soul in much remorse

The monkey died a bitter death

The shadow faded then engressed

Peeling back the ludicrous thought patterns of my past

Trying to find some meaning try to make it really last

Cerebellum traps a thought and holds it for eternity

Pays me back in broken dreams till I let go that part of me

He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds

An alibi is what I need

I hope and pray I find one

The Holy Grail of bitterness

The goblet of grace undone

The shadow returned but this time white

No more my skin dows crawl

Into my world the shadow invite

Sadness left earth’s ancient fall

Cerebellum traps a thought and holds it for eternity

Pays me back in broken dreams till I let go that part of me

Indulgence by proxy a broken rope of seven

White shadows glowing hand reaches down from heaven
