Lyrics
Havoc
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just when I thought
I had handles on this
I could soften my guard
Behind false confidence
Just when I found
Humble pie insipid
Exempt from this blind side
And firmly in its grip
Cuz I’m seduced by reaction
And under the influence
I’m slipping again
I’m up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense
I’m wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
I get reduced by my own willfulness
As I reach for my usual God replacements
Cuz I am rich with sanction
And lax in my steps
I’m slipping again
I’m up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense
I’m wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
If forgiveness is understanding
Then I offer mea culpa for the millionth time
From this toppling house of cards of mine
I am beaten by my impulsiveness
By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret
Cuz I’m repulsed by restriction
At least that’s my excuse
I’m slipping again
I’m up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense
I’m wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
