Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I stand accused of treason 12 bitter scowls fall on me The gavel cracks like a whip I confess, I hold this court in contempt For want of an advocate The saboteur speaks for me Throw the book, I throw it back And confess, I hold this court in contempt I fade Into the walls Draw the shades Down on it all This island once was a mountaintop This villain once was a child I'm a ruin, I warned them all I confess, I hold myself in contempt We change Perhaps our finest art Draw the shades On the senile heart Wait for me I won't be long For I don't belong Anywhere but here Contingencies in place Reserved a solitary space Guilt erodes the chamber walls Of the senile heart Drunken father of the land Stands proud and tall in his disgrace Beats down each helping hand Condemns us to our fate I hold you in contempt
