Sacred vows Now cheap obligation Promises and ringed forgiveness Say it back with some conviction Speak up, girl Use your diction The priest is waiting for your decision Staring at the man parallel To spend a life with through insanity and hell Now you see his intentions are well Fight the urge for flight But finding courage from the hits taken last night Foggy trails of wedded delight Masking the fumes of foreboding night Snowstorm omens await your matrimony Making it known that it's not just for now it will be stormy Crack the glass Tip the bottle Dance our dance Two steps back We had the strength to move further from that We dance right through our holy pact Now that all our time has lapsed The last grain of truth fell through the hourglass Cleaning up and looking back Memoirs of our wedding trash Throw it out It was a memory passed One day that we forgave the past Kissed so true Hands tightly clasped Man and wife Became monster and ***** Too proud to say we would ever take it back Too hateful to assure it was worth the blast Too kind to pull the trigger too fast Shotgun wedding without the ***** filled sack Praying for it to never come to that Make an honest woman of me at last At least we don't have to disappoint Everyone assumed where this was going Trace our steps back to the alter Take back our words Reverse the legality on paper Pull off rings and our fake tremors Replace it with who we really were to begin with Shape and create a ending with splendor Finish the way we started I'm game for either Get a reaction No such luck I went crazy on your behalf before This final indenture I don't owe you a pound of flesh You had my mind When I thought I had lost it Keeping it locked and hidden in a box marked lovers And now you show it back all tattered The wrinkles once healthy Now sag with bitter remebrance And grey with genuine attempts and constant failures You saw potential You declared a ways back A molding I tried to pour myself in But instead it cracked All you see now is what I lack No purpose No sense No redeeming countenance Just a used up waste of penitence Apologies and sincere regret What the **** would you do with that? Each promise broken Moved up two steps back Go figure we moved behind Instead of progressing forward on this track It's not a race And in our disgrace We both lost ourselves Before we stepped on the starting place
