I was splitting at the seams
I was whispering
I was slipping through digression
I was making my mark
I stared at all the reflections
But none were mine
I was full of indecision
It’s judgement time

The situation changes
It’s one on one
Got a hand without the aces
And there’s nothing to come
I was searching for the rebound
But the walls fell away
I was left to face the inquest
It was the midnight way

My sentence is
I’m stripped of lust
And banished from
That beast called trust
I was kept awake
By temptation’s call
I was soaked in sweat
Oh how I feel the fall
