Scenario
Redemption in Regret: Smalltown Poets' Scenario Unveiled
Lyrics
Forgive me if I've been confused
Expressing remorse and seeking forgiveness for confusion.
Between the means and end
Reflecting on the distinction between methods and goals.
I forgot to be a brother and a friend
Acknowledging neglect of fraternal and friendly duties.
Covered up inside
Concealing inner struggles or emotional turmoil.
Sometimes it's harder to know
Highlighting the difficulty in discerning certain truths.
I have failed at this scenario
Admitting failure in a particular situation or circumstance.
My faults do run deep
Recognizing personal flaws that go to a profound level.
Your mercies do run deeper
Acknowledging the depth of mercy received despite shortcomings.
So I knelt tonight
Engaging in a humble act of kneeling, possibly in prayer.
And felt that in somebody's mind
Sensing a shared consciousness with another individual.
There's a memory of a balance met
Perceiving a memory where equilibrium was achieved.
But I left less than sublime
Leaving a situation less than ideal or perfect.
There's no credit line
No recognition or acknowledgment for one's efforts.
No net worth to show
Lacking tangible achievements or assets to display.
I can pay for this scenario
Expressing readiness to face the consequences of the situation.
Deepest apologies and sincere regret
Offering profound apologies and genuine remorse.
For carrying this debt
Acknowledging the burden of carrying a figurative debt.
This scenario returns me to where I began
Describing a recurrence of a challenging situation.
Losing what was mine and finding out
Experiencing loss and the realization of a moral dilemma.
A shortcut is a sin
Stating that taking a shortcut is morally wrong.
