Lyrics

One of Us

Can I make it plainer?

I misjudged your intentions

Misread behaviour

That beggars many questions

What happened to our plan

The one that we began?

Are you an also-ran?

Finished? Inconsequential?

Declining, and divining

One of us will live to rue the day we met each other

One of us will live to rue the day we met each other

Breaching, over-reaching

One of us will live to rue the day we met each other

One of us will live to rue the day we met each other

It's a no-brainer

It's time to test the mettle

Reasoned? Insaner?

Infected scores to settle

No safety-netted plan

We're here, we will, we can

Finish what we began!

Never, ever damned for trying...
