A Reading Of Scales Lyrics

Fortify my mental blocks

Can't find focus, Not my fault

Karma not as a belief

How I track my universal debts

Might reveal some bizarre god complex

Waiting on overdue payments

Surely I've done enough good by now

Withholding kindness until I get paid

As if I have any right

To expect from the lights

A reading of scales

Taking place overnight

Tell me I've risen above all my peers

I've overcome their evils!

As if they weren't already mine

Please forgive me of my sins

I've yet to commit but will in due time

Predetermined guilt as a core drive

Begging redemption, no self reflection

Read too much in every detail

Reinforcing what I hoped I'd unlearned

Tell me I've risen above all my peers

I've overcome their evils!

As if they weren't already mine

I wish I had been who I am now then

Kindness with a fucking price tag

Favors for favors, Sacrifice or selling short

Shallow love with profit margins

You of little faith, insured against Peter's Gates
