Sober Karaoke

The lights go up I feel my hand Reach for the door But I’m stalling It’s not enough And I can’t stand To walk away So I’m falling Into the current A silent servant Can’t believe I stayed so long Don’t want to leave ya My great deceiver Been under your spell so long… It’s all I need, it’s all I know It’s all I ever wanted To disappear Into myself Until I am dissolved And melted, Grey, A simple fate The flag is raised and I’ve withdrawn But at the gates I’m turned away They tell me that I got it wrong I went too far I don’t belong It’s a long road back (To where I’m going) A long road back (There’s no way of knowing) There’s just no way of knowing There’s just no way of knowing It’s a long road It's a long road home There’s just no way of knowing There’s just no way of knowing It’s a long road It's a long road home So now I leap Into the deep end Blue, But I know there's something Out there for me And what you don’t see Is how desperately I’m just wanting To feel alright At peace despite The foolish things that people do Oh my guiding light Take me through the night I’m trusting you to see me through It’s a long road back (To where I’m going) A long road back (There’s no way of knowing) It’s a long road back (To where I’m going) A long road back There’s just no way of knowing There’s just no way of knowing It’s a long road It's a long road home

In the square I stood a public disgrace They let the women and the children Spit right in my face I've been charged With corrupting the youth (Is it true? Is it true? Is it true) Oh no, no, no, no Why should I confess? Do you find me afraid? The citizens have cast their votes And a choice was made Advised by men To hold my tongue Though I never harmed anyone No I never harmed anyone Anyone at all And alas… And you know Oh, alas… I would rather die than live your lie I would rather die than live your lie I would rather take the poison, oh my judges Drink the poison, oh my brothers Take the poison Drink the poison "When a madness has entered with holy prayers and rites, and by inspired utterances found a way of deliverance for those who are in need, and he who has part in this gift, and is truly possessed and duly out of his mind, is by the use of purifications and mysteries made whole, and exempt from evil, future as well as present, and has a release from the calamity which was afflicting him" No evil can happen to a good man
