Clutch the throttle to keep us on the go, So the momentum will leave what we just did to our memories, To what we know, Because I’m already regretting the prospects I couldn’t surmise, And how you had the upper hand when I wasn’t even tongue tied, So keep that pedal to the floor, Despite the fact that I wanted this, And I’m praying that our actions won’t lead to a crisis It’s so hard to deny my mistakes, When I watch your every move, Hoping you want more Even when you’re just doing what you like, My objections to your advances fall short, Since I can’t help but feel this is right, Despite our love costing another their life Because I’m feeling the consequences of not being able to surmise, The price of our compromise, Because I’m feeling the effects of, My throat being sliced for favoring your roll of the dice, This is not a love letter, This is not the note you write before you leave your wife, This is not an explanation of why you hoisted your neck too high, This is about the ballot you sign to elect our guiding light, He or she, it or we, Whoever will be able to lead a society of the competent, A society of the weak, This is life and you’ve got to realize, I’m regretting the prospects I’ll never being able to surmise, The advances you made to get a prize A chance to keep me tongue tied Because a ballot is no better than a television to remind you and I, That we are attracted by what we see, Not by what you’ll do once your seen as a king, And whether you choose to lead

The Voluptuous and the Vow
Clutch the throttle to keep us on the go, So the momentum will leave what we just did to our memories, To what we know, Because I’m already regretting the prospects I couldn’t surmise, And how you had the upper hand when I wasn’t even tongue tied, So keep that pedal to the floor, Despite the fact that I wanted this, And I’m praying that our actions won’t lead to a crisis It’s so hard to deny my mistakes, When I watch your every move, Hoping you want more Even when you’re just doing what you like, My objections to your advances fall short, Since I can’t help but feel this is right, Despite our love costing another their life Because I’m feeling the consequences of not being able to surmise, The price of our compromise, Because I’m feeling the effects of, My throat being sliced for favoring your roll of the dice, This is not a love letter, This is not the note you write before you leave your wife, This is not an explanation of why you hoisted your neck too high, This is about the ballot you sign to elect our guiding light, He or she, it or we, Whoever will be able to lead a society of the competent, A society of the weak, This is life and you’ve got to realize, I’m regretting the prospects I’ll never being able to surmise, The advances you made to get a prize A chance to keep me tongue tied Because a ballot is no better than a television to remind you and I, That we are attracted by what we see, Not by what you’ll do once your seen as a king, And whether you choose to lead
