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 blindside and firmly in its grip
Cause I'm seduced by reaction and under the influence

I'm sliping again I'm
Up to my 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 am rich with sanction and lax in my steps

I'm sliping again I'm
Up to my tricks off my wagon
I have no defense I'm
Wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence

It forgiveness is understanding then I
offer mea culpa for the millionth time
From this toppling house of card 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 sliping again I'm
Up to my tricks off my wagon
I have no defense I'm
Wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
