Inside a Frame - Fucked Up

A vengeful angel flies around the sun

Drippin' his wax down on those that watch

Feathers falling next, they’re dancing around

Such a graceful decent, so unlike his own

Crashing down to earth

Destruction in his wake he caused

There I go again, trying to narrate

So I could hide my role

Have to own up, have to concede

They used me like you

We all have our jobs, markers of our fate

That dictate our place

But now I know it’s not his fault

How could I (?) responsible?

So wrought by what I’ve done

Wouldn’t wish it on anyone

What of the man with the wooden god?

Never did him good

But never steered him wrong

Can’t claim the same

The blood on my hands

Marks my guilt, exposes my crimes

I’ve played with lives

Like the Gods of old

But I’m no God

I’m just a fool

Leader of the mob

King of the swayed, culpable

The moms and dads who turned to me

Now hold their torches at my door

Try to alleviate the burden of my guilt

Never really had agency

I’m just a false prophet, just a heretic

Powerless without your belief

A young couple meets and falls in love

And live so happily, it’s a platitude

But it’s a lie, affections unrequited

Presence someone else will complicate

The best laid plans of invertebrates made evil by love

Trapped inside a frame not of my design

Simple follow (?) remember the lines

I had no choice, this is how it was cast

This is how it was cast, I had no choice

Trapped inside a frame, not of my design

Follow what is destined and tow the line

There is no escape, that’s why they call it fate

There is no escape, that’s why they call it fate

There is no escape, that’s why they call it fate

There is no escape, that’s why they call it fate

There is no escape
