Just when I thought
I had handles on this
I can soften my guard behind false confidence

Just when I found
Humbled by insipid
*Exempt* from this blind-side and from reading a script
Cause I am 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
Cause I wish for sanction it lacks 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

Forgiveness is understanding that
Offer me a couple for the millionth time
From this toppling house of cards of mine

I am beaten by my impulsiveness
By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret
Cause 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
I have no defense I'm
Wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
