Lyrics for havoc
Just when I thought I had handled solace I could soften my guard Behind false confidence Just when I found Humble pie insipid Exempt from this blind-side And firmly in its grip 'Cause I am seduced by reaction and under the influence I'm slipping again I'm up to old tricks, off my wagon I have no defense I'm wreaking havoc Wreaking havoc and consequence I get reduced by my own willfulness As I reach for my usual God replacements 'Cause I am rich with sanction And lax in my steps I'm slipping again I'm up to old tricks Off my wagon I have no defense I'm wreaking havoc Wreaking havoc and consequence If forgiveness is understanding then I Affirm me a culpa for the millionth time On this tumbling house of cards of mine I am beaten by my impulsiveness By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret 'Cause I'm repulsed by restriction at least that's my excuse I'm slipping again I'm up to old tricks Off my wagon I have no defense I'm wreaking havoc Wreaking havoc and consequence I'm slipping again I'm up to old tricks Off my wagon I have no defense I'm wreaking havoc Wreaking havoc and consequence
