The Accidental

Gene


My honour's in doubt
It was accidental
I swear to God
It was the wrong angle
The blade flashed by
I had to grab it
A lunging mass
It was accidental
The nights seem longer
Tell me what I've done
I know I think
That he deserved it
We all like a drink
But he deserved it
The blade flashed by
I barely saw it
My dreams are scarred
Your face my forfeit
The nights seem longer
Tell me what I've done
Now I know
That the earth from the sky to the ground
Is alive with an aching for love
Look at me
I have tried but good luck is a sound
I've not heard in my life for a while
Don't desert me now
It was accidental
The blade flashed by
There was nothing better
My mind was numb
My guts they led me
This normal night
This one dead body
