Standard (EADGBE)

In an act of contrition I lay down by your side

 It's not your place to comment On my state of distress

 For this is for real I've tears in my eyes

 Am I laughing or crying? I suggest I'm not lying

 I haven't found a measure yet to

Calibrate my displeasure yet so

To ignore my warning Could be your folly

 The judgment is harsh I offer no plea

 Valuing the vengeance which you treasure

I've redefined the meaning of vendetta

The procession's disordered You protect your possessions

 In light of your actions I question your love

 May I make an observation

Your bite is worse than my aggression

I should have known better I should have known better

 Than to become a target Albeit a target which moves

 No offer of terms or concessions

For statements or confessions

You don't feel warm, I pass close by

You shiver, I whisper Excuse me, what's your problem?

Oh, I see I should have known better
