Unimpeachable

about

The main hook of this tune was written while I was waiting a few minutes for someone that was dropping by on 1/9/2013. The lyrics weren't written until much later (most of the verses on 4/25 and 4/26, chorus and the rest on 5/13), which is something of a rarity for me.

lyrics

I heard that you, like to stay out late at night, give the neighbors a fright, play rougher than others might
I heard that you, were lookin’ for a mystery, you like everyone you see, don’t brace for misery
But I see a blip, on my detector of your lies, don’t try to rationalize, this song has been prescribed
Did I see a slip? A moment of half-hazardry, Hesitataion’s gleem, a lack of certainty?

I’ve set in stone, conditions upon which I’ll decide, the merits of your life, the true depth of your strife
You’ve published works, detailing all of your beliefs, but I see what’s underneath, a soul-shaped cavity
Did I feel a chink, in that armor of discrete, compartments of deceit, denials of misdeeds?
Sense I, a rebuke, in your refusal to admit, your relief found in respite, comfort from concealment?

(STALL FOR TIME) SO YOU CAN THINK OF ANOTHER LIE TO COVER UP
(THE MOUNTAIN) BEHIND YOU SO TALL IT DELAYS WHEN THE SUN COMES UP
(STALL FOR TIME) SO YOU CAN THINK OF ANOTHER LIE TO COVER UP
(THE MOUNTAIN) BEHIND YOU SO TALL IT DELAYS WHEN THE SUN COMES UP

You count your mistakes, on the fingers of one hand, claim you’re a good man, say you understand
I’ve conceded points, in an effort to relate, the decisions that you make, to the results you obfuscate
Do I see a flaw, in your logic and reasons? For the last few seasons, to say “No” would be treason
It’s not just a scuff, on the wall built between us, framed with discarded trust, love-proof so it won’t rust

(STALL FOR TIME) SO YOU CAN THINK OF ANOTHER LIE TO COVER UP
(THE MOUNTAIN) BEHIND YOU SO TALL IT DELAYS WHEN THE SUN COMES UP
(STALL FOR TIME) SO YOU CAN THINK OF ANOTHER LIE TO COVER UP
(THE MOUNTAIN) BEHIND YOU SO TALL IT DELAYS WHEN THE SUN COMES UP
