Criminal of Circumstance

from This Was Supposed to Be Temporary by Benjamin Shepherd

/

lyrics

Who among you has the grace
To come along and take your place
Cemented somewhere in the halls of time
If it's your calling it's no crime

Y'talk real loud and throw in style
Y'give an inch and take a mile
Not a jester nor a prince
Where'd you find that audience?

Is that the breeze outside rushing?
Will it slowly come to rest so I can consider what it said?

Like a cat stuck in a tree without a care
How'd you even get up there?
Now you could knock em over with a glance
Criminal of circumstance

I don't have no kind of time to waste
Will someone come and take my place?
Fear of success' taking him alive
Had a brush with it but he'll survive
