Billy Sheehan

I Hope you’ll excuse the intrusion
A soul in a chamber tonight
Like an unassuming mercenary
Still the only one in sight
I’m getting’ used to keeping may mouth shut
Carryin’ a heavy load
The time has come for me to slide again
Really like to stay but I gotta go
Sparkle horizon
A mirror of my fate
But I’m blazin’ a trail
As I bleed along the way
Trying to capture the moment
Holding it up to the light
Hatch a scheme-redundant dream
Stretch so thin when you pull it tight
Lyin’ at the edge of the table
One in a million as best
Laugh and cry and humble pie
I feel too wicked to wane rest
Sparkle horizon
A mirror of my fate
Bu I’m blazin a trail
As I bleed along the way
I’m gettin’ good a keeping my mouth shut
Carryin’ a heavy load
Time has come for me to slide again
Really like to stay but I got to go
Really like to stay but I got to go
Bleed along the way but I got to go
Bleed along the way but I got to go
Got to go…
Got to go…
Got to go…

Infinite mercy
Gives you the strength to carry through
One thing is certain
Nobody walks around the rules
So sit yourself down, inside the choir
Take your place, in the black my friend
Lose your faith, and then retire
Slip into oblivion again, my friend
Someone uncovers
Pieces of undiscovered sin
As soon as you’re able
You can start to cave then in
So sit yourself down, inside the choir
Take your place, in the black my friend
Lose your faith, and then retire
Slip into oblivion again, my friend
Does no good to try to save your name
Your gonna leave this world the way you came
Live in compassion
Don’t let it dominate your pride
Nobody’s asking’
“How does it feel to step aside?”
So sit yourself down, inside the choir
Take your place, in the black my friend
Lode your faith, and then retire
Slip into oblivion
Slip into oblivion
Slip into oblivion again, my friend

Everything I use to know
Starts to slip away
Pull it out from under me
Take apart the day
Bathing in the afterglow
Gone without a trace
Reaching down to feel the floor
Falling from your grace
I think you know my position
I couldn’t possibly hesitate
I’d really like to sit and listen
But it’s a little bit too late
Cause what once was a will never be again
You shout it out as you descend
What once was will never be again
You shout it out as you descend
Living in a blue seclusion
Surrounded by a crowd
Coming to a new conclusion
Keep your voices down
Watch the faithful gather round
They wouldn’t miss the show
Selling saviors by the pound
Everybody knows
I think you know my position
I couldn’t possibly hesitate
I’d really like to sit and listen
But it’s a little bit too late
Cause what once was will never be again
You shout it out as you descend
What once was will never be again
You shout it out as you descend
