Tourniquet - Indulgence By Proxy lyrics

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 d**h 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
