The Graveblankets

Do i know if i would
Leave my life for yours?

R

Well i carry my guilt in a suitcase
And i lug it around everywhere i go
And i look like buster keaton with a stone face
Cause i don't want my package to show

Now a broken promise
Is a powerful thing
It fits in that keyhole
And makes the front door swing
Then it holds you down
To watch what it will bring

Well i carry my guilt in a suitcase
And i lug it around everywhere i go
And i almost fool myself with a poker face
Cause i don't want my guilt to show

Even when i'm sleeping
There's a god-awful sound
It sits on my head
With the weight of a crown
I start hearing other voices
One too many choices

Well i carry my guilt in a suitcase
And i lug it around everywhere i go
And i look like buster keaton with a stone face

The reckless moment jumps up before you know it
It grabs you by your lapels
And throws you straight down to hell
You won't know what hit you
Until the next morning
The next morning

The reckless moment is gone for now you're hoping
You swear you'll never give in again
But it knows right where you live
You could not see it coming
Even with the last warning
The last warning

The reckless moment
The reckless moment
The reckless moment
The reckless moment

The reckless moment is then and there you blow it
It asks you what it is you want
But it knows you back to front
You won't know what hit you
Until the next morning
The next morning

The reckless moment
The reckless moment
The reckless moment
The reckless moment

The reckless moment
The reckless moment
The reckless moment
The reckless moment

I can't seem to
Forgive or forget you
And when i try
You see every second guess
In my eyes

This is my human condition
Human condition

You know full well
You made life on earth
Life in hell
But your pride and obstinence
Refuse to give up
The rightest thing

This is your human condition
Human condition
Human condition

The shortest thing can feel long
The rightist thing can end up wrong
But i love
When it happens to me
Cause i've learned to find comfort in irony

This is my human condition
Human condition
Human condition

Listen to those dogs howl
They need an answer now
They're not asking
They're not telling
They're just wondering how
It all disappeared so soon

Rent's due again
Rent's due again

She stood costumed in the ballroom
Filled with desperate men
A group of shadows
Crossed her like
A fair weathered friend
She guessed the story's end

Rent's due again
Rent's due again
Rent's due again

If i knew how this would turn

I never would have played
I guess i just listened to those words
Don't be afraid
Now i need some aid

Rent's due again
Rent's due again
Rent's due again
Rent's due again
