"It's not a sin
It's not a sleight You're just in town for the night" Beyond conjecture Loss of pressure Morality gone and nothing's right Out the window Words as widows With only distance to your plight A somber story Faded memory The deed is done, now dim the lights The present's a joke, the past as the stoke The flame of inequity, promiscuity, profligacy You lit the pyre; promises rose as smoke Sparked a blaze as it razed; sense of security erased But the deed is done now, darling Now dim the lights What's the price you've to pay? Whilst you're lying awake Trying to shake the sins of the day From this one or the last one? Or the one from before? How many different lives come and go through your door? You're looking for sin, looking at it slight Thinking it's okay 'cause I'm just in town for the night But the picture frames remind; oh, his unknowing eyes Karma's done collected from me way too many times "It's all a secret What's your deal? Forget his face and take my side" Temptress logic Trite, psychotic What makes you think it's alright? Twisted tales Half-truths as they fail Your stories are falling out of line When he comes home Oh, the secrets he'll know But the deed is done, now dim the lights The present's a joke, there's no past to know The memories of discrepancy, dishonesty, infidelity You sowed the poison; the body it ravaged and roamed Destroying the effigy of the life you lived happily But the deed is done now, darling Now dim the lights What's the price you've to pay? Whilst you're lying awake Trying to shake the sins of the day For this one or the last one? Or the one from before? How many different lives come and go through your door? You're looking for sin, looking for the sleight Thinking it's all okay 'cause I'm in town for the night But the picture frames remind; oh, his sad fucking eyes Karma's done collected from me way too many times Don't really wanna hurt nobody Been on the other side every other time Never really wanna hurt nobody No one really stops and thinks About the pain that it brings We all act so selfishly, it's a travesty But I know I'm never gonna be the one to hurt nobody What's the price you've got to pay? Whilst lying in this grave Rotting away from the sins you create For this one or the last one? Or the one before? How many lives have you damaged evermore? You're looking for sin, but it's the one with the sleight Thinking I'm okay 'cause I'm only around for the night But the picture frames remind; oh, my noble, shining eyes Karma won't collect from me for the rest of my life
