My Inclination
34 degrees, looks like a storm is coming (finally)
He stands tall like a man, who knows what’s what, boy
The Great Façade – but he feels
(chorus)
Was it all a mistake
Was it all a mistake – it ain’t just the money, no
Was it all a mistake
Was it all a mistake – choice is still yours, so
39, in need of a nice new side item (double D), so
He stands tall like a man, who knows what’s what, boy
And you don’t know where it started
Rest your mind
And you don’t know where it started
42, the people sure a star is rising (you’d agree)
He stands tall like a man, who knows what’s what, boy
The cameras roll but he feels
(chorus)
Was it all a mistake
Was it all a mistake – it ain’t just the money, no
Was it all a mistake
Was it all a mistake – choice is still yours, so
A hundred thousand reasons, easy, pleasing heathens(bribery)
He stands tall like a man who knows what’s what, boy
And you don’t know where it started
Rest your mind
And you don’t know where it started
5:15 alarm call comes, quickly dressed there(reveley)
He stands tall like a man who knows what’s what, boy
He leaves the money, but he feels
(Coda)
Was it all a mistake
Was he righteous born, the flesh just unwilling
Was it all a mistake the whole time
Striving for the feeling that you desire
Set on fire, set on fire,
You’re waiting for some
Set on fire, set on fire, self made liar
Waiting for some more
The role becomes the everyday as the inside fades
Til the fractured line between is long gone
When he put on the façade - the whole damn thing was started
Then he told himself the lie – the former had departed
Crack the bottle, you’ve arrived – esteemed and well regarded
Swallow all the greed and pride – the way down deep discarded
Set on fire, set on fire, set on fire
You’re waiting for some
Set on fire, set on fire, self made liar
Waiting for some more
