Indulgence By Proxy Lyrics - Tourniquet

It's not me, it's not mine 

Without this shadow my life would shine 

Get this monkey off my back 

Then I'll choose a better tack 

Parameters set far too narrow 

Pavement turns to broken gavel 

Ten commandments become suggestions 

My ordered life starts to unravel 

The square is always equal to the sum of the hypotenuse 

When you don't believe that what you reap is what you sow - you lose 

Indulgence by proxy a rope wound seven times, climb the stairs 

Drop the platform, brings an end to my crimes 

The gavel fell with such a force 

I found my soul in much remorse 

The monkey died a bitter death 

The shadow faded then engressed 

Peeling back the ludicrous thought patterns of my past 

Trying to find some meaning try to make it really last 

Cerebellum traps a thought and holds it for eternity 

Pays me back in broken dreams till I let go that part of me 

He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds 

An alibi is what I need 

I hope and pray I find one 

The Holy Grail of bitterness 

The goblet of grace undone 

The shadow returned but this time white 

No more my skin dows crawl 

Into my world the shadow invite 

Sadness left earth's ancient fall 

Cerebellum traps a thought and holds it for eternity 

Pays me back in broken dreams till I let go that part of me 

Indulgence by proxy a broken rope of seven 

White shadows glowing hand reaches down from heaven
