Lyrics
Your song and dance routine
Bears all the markings of a Machiavellian scheme
The shadows you cast over your shadowy past
Do the trick for now, but you know they won't last
The curtain will fall with the crumbling walls
Like a dirty rat you will scurry and crawl
Under cover of night, but your cover's been blown
By a mighty wind you will howl and you'll moan
You're shit out of luck, down to your last dime
When the thunder cracks it will rattle your spine
You drop to your knees like a prodigal son
You long for your home, but you find you have none
And you're done, done, done, so done, so very done
Your cat and mouse charade
Boasts all the fanfare of a single float parade
The ballot's been stuffed with envy and lust
The vices you groomed pushed you right to the cusp
But you can't shake your past, your flag's at half mast
Your pillars seem strong, but you know they won't last
You're riddled with holes, you're riddled with words
You're speaking in tongues, but you've never been heard
You fall down on all fours and you slither off shore
At a deafening speed with a deafening roar
You crack and you strain when the poisonous rain
Comes down with the sound and true fury of pain
Born from the lake of fire, home, home sweet home
