(Verse 1) Walked steady on the balance beam and lost my place Where did I start before I fell on my face? And what went wrong the moment I lost my grace I gripped it tightly, but the beam wasn’t fazed Oh, the sweet sound of justice in your dreamy court I was left defenseless because you, I adored Then I pleaded not guilty though you still had to abort Our appellant romance, the judgment had me so worn (PreChorus) And I know it’s been years and I shouldn’t care anymore But I still haven’t bailed out of your jail, I’m the object of scorn (Chorus) Here I sit and hide behind my bars of despair I cried you a river but you still didn’t care Obsolete Out of date I feel so perished In jail, I stay (Verse 2) Once you sentenced me to life I had no other choice But to stay quiet and not use my voice I wanted to take your gavel and smash your little boys But your treachery just lied me on the foyer (Chorus) Here I sit and hide behind my bars of despair I cried you a river but you still didn’t care Obsolete Out of date I feel so perished In jail, I stay (Bridge) And you had wrung me like a rag, dry Your hidden, cheap lies Stole my savored heart And it brought me back to start Where I had met you on the first day Asked if I’m okay Then I fell apart You hit me with a dart And then inside in your courtroom You said, “silence” and I knew true Right then and there XXX XXXXX XX XXXXXXX XXXX XXX XXX XXX XXXX XXXXX XXXX XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXX XX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXX XXX XXXX XXXXXX XXX X XXXXX XXXXXX XXXX XX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXX XXXX X XXX XXX XXXX XXXXXX XX XXXX XX XXXXXXX X XXXXX XXX X XXXXX XXX XXX XXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXX XX XXXX X XXXX XX XXXXXXXX XX XXXXX X XXXX XXXX X XXX XXX XXX XXXXXX XX XXXX XX XXXXX XXX XXXX X XXXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXX XX XXXXXXX X XXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXX XXX XX XXXX X XXXX XX XXXXXXXX XX XXXXX X XXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXX XX XXXX X XXXX XX XXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXX XXX XX XXXX X XXXX XX XXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXX XXX XX XXXX X XXXX XX XXXXXXXX XX XXXXX X XXXX

The Pallbearers Of Truth

By Sean Sullivan

This is a blues song that laments the startling sudden, and recent, death of truth in modern Western culture. Whether you feel that it died at the hands of the media, the Internet, shallow self-serving politicians, or their followers, we can all agree that it’s fatally wounded. The music for this song needs gravel and anger, but should also evoke an arm-around-a-stranger’s-neck sing along at an Irish Bar, as if we’re partying at our own wake.
