Another day stuck between the register and things
I should have had planned but now I can't
because of supply and demand.
It's been a long time coming, and we all know of those days when showing becomes telling through your window
and you should be aware, the charges that strike us from mid-air
The crash takes us down, and now we're out..
When all these bills are sent, and everything's paid to mend the lack of funds you've spent.
Caught up in this cycle of being trapped in the same day,
Slow and steady, climb is getting harder for the average men to pay.
(Call off your weapons!)
I've been caught up in this dream of working for this machine that never seems to end.
So lend me what you can.
Longs talks beaten between
what is considered your best and..
What we feel the need to finally express all my complaints and grievances won’t be the last you hear of me.

This is my chance to seize an empire of Roman proportions.
Alexander, defeat will come too soon.
They’ve been trading with the enemy, they can’t withstand or contend La Grande Armee.
Send word to Paris the army marches at midnight.
Long time old friend, showed him my strategies.
As Moscow burns down I’ll walk to the door.
Russian winters kill before.
When I refuse to retreat you should always pursue with a justice that topples crowns.
I had a chance to rule this world anyhow.
Perfect Josephine, you are my lucky star I wish château de Malmaison wasn’t so god damn far I’d say.
Thoughts from the past keep on flashing back, showing the world what they could have lacked now.
Tell that I’m not.
They’re closing in the gaps!
All sides now close in while I make my escape back home.
Sent away to an island not far off from my old home where I’ll take you as my only friend.

And I’m scared, cut up, drunk.
Oh, can’t you see anything else?
I’ve been losing track of something else.
Why can’t I see that all of these things?
When all of these things fall out,
you’d have to remind me sometime
when I wouldn’t have a doubt.
Why don't you miiiiiind losing?
When all these things fall out
Well I've been dying not to meet you
Then I had my doubt
I’ll find it hard this time
(figure it out, judging by my looks)
There I sit tucked beneath the crowd.
I sit and wait for karma to come take its toll on me.
I realize that this is simply a contest just to keep my grass green.
And I wish there was something I could do
when you don’t know when everything goes cold.
Now I’ve foreseen the change,
don’t bother now it’s offset from change.
You know that I’ve had my eyes on you.
(The effort's not a part of me before all)
Take back what you own!

It's all cause and effect.
I can't explain all the things that you want to believe and now I'm chasing my time.
You're changing out.
Tell me something I don't know.
I will seek justice.
Tell me who I'm supposed to be.
Never mind you're just chasing up all my time now I don't know.
(Change is what dies now conjure up another lie.)
Change believed. Oh, try not to say anything.
Now I'm wanted by your own green eyes I see at night.
I don't knooooow!
Tell me all the things that you want back in Lexington.
Your army is right here, and I don't even mind.
I don't even read all your stupid letters.
It makes no sense to me.
(Conjure up the words. Losing all your plans, you're just a thorn in my side.)
Now I'm losing it,
Can't see anything without you there now.
Looks like I don't care now.
Now I can say that I told you more than once.
And I've seen through these broken lines,
You seem to plot my demise.
I don’t know anything else to say.
(It's all just stars and I hope!)

In a deceptive turn of events that would last me into this very grave.
Interruptions come as we sit and he’s crowding his words with his lies.
My last chance to be runner up has been taken by you.
There is no stance to guide you.
Amendments thrown to go recover the ballot.
Now it seems the count is minutes away.
Since all you’ve done is taken states laws for granted.
I’ll be sure to take your life.
Now pause in an act to prevent and divert my plans. sir…
Understand why I can’t win.
Because of states laws we’re at it again,
To block all attempts at power again.
New Jersey, where laws can't track us down for this next morning.
Don't be losing sleep.
Take the lead, I'll stand here just to watch you fall back to the ground.
I would survive, once yet again to reprimand the conscience who try to pretend.
It seems that all of my political rivals have vanished into the smoke that fills the air.
You would fall and die.
(I thought I would for now, to try and stop this cordial bout but there you were, just falling down.)
