The Accidental - Gene

My honour’s in doubt

It was accidental

I swear to God

It was the wrong angle

The blade flashed by

I had to grab it

A lunging mass

It was accidental

The nights seem longer

Tell me what I’ve done

I know I think

That he deserved it

We all like a drink

But he deserved it

The blade flashed by

And I barely saw it

My dreams are scarred

Your face my forfeit

The nights seem longer

Tell me what I’ve done

Now I know

That the earth from the sky to the ground

Is alive with an aching for love

Look at me

I have tried but good luck is a sound

I’ve not heard in my life for a while

Don’t desert me now

It was accidental

The blade flashed by

There was nothing better

My mind was numb

My guts they led me

This normal night

This one dead body
