Blame
Right Away Great Captain! Lyrics

I know you must know it now
I am aware that you probably know my darkest secrets now.

My organs have stoned
I feel paralyzed and unable to react due to guilt and fear.

My fingers are numb around
I cannot control my emotions and react impulsively.

Your warm, pulsing throat
I desire to hurt the person who may have exposed my secrets.

And I whisper, my wife
I confide in my partner who may have been hurt by my actions.

She opens her pale eyes
My partner listens but is not fully supportive of me.

She smiled, so I smiled
Despite the guilt I feel, I am numb and pretend to be happy.

And I got what I deserved
I acknowledge that my painful actions have led to my current state.

This house was my flowered heart
This home has been my refuge and source of happiness.

But my petals have fallen
My sense of happiness has been destroyed by my actions and secrets being exposed.

Do you love him, tell me now
I fear that my partner may have feelings for someone else.

Or I'll show you my scars
In an attempt to place blame elsewhere, I threaten to reveal painful secrets.

And you will bow boldly
I expect my partner to accept blame for my actions and apologize.

And tell me you're sorry
I seek validation and forgiveness, even if I may not deserve it.

But you're hardly moving
My partner may not react in the way I expect or want them to.

Wake up and give me
I expect my partner to wake up and react to my needs.

What I know
I am aware of the pain I have caused and expect acknowledgement of this.

I deserve
I acknowledge my responsibility in causing harm, and expect punishment or consequences.

Hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm

The farmer's wife heard it from
The story of my actions have spread, and others are aware of my secrets and their consequences.

The street down below
The secrets have spread beyond my immediate circle.

And later fully recalled each harrowing note
Others will remember and recount my actions and their consequences.

And she will cry, holy
Others may feel hurt and pain due to my actions.

Spirit has cursed me
I believe I am being punished for my actions.

And for this my
These consequences are my responsibility.

Ending sooner than I deserve
I may face punishment or death due to my actions.

The children were lucky
Others may not be directly affected by my actions.

To have only
Others may not have been as hurt by my actions as the ones closest to me.

Used ears
Others may only have heard about my actions and not experienced them firsthand.

As I stood on top of him looking down
I may have caused harm to those who were closest to me.

I felt the fear in their skin they plead
Other people close to me may have felt fear and discomfort due to my actions.

Father
I am being held responsible for my actions and their consequences.

Did you kill our leader
My actions may have led to the downfall of someone important or influential.

Our rock and great teacher
My actions may have caused harm to someone who was a mentor or role model for others.

What did he deserve
I seek justification or validation for my actions, even if it may not be warranted.

And I replied
I try to justify my actions or place blame elsewhere.

No, killed my
I deny responsibility for the negative consequences of my actions.

Leeches
I refer to those who may have taken advantage of me or hurt me in the past.

And the wound that has freed us
Others may have been hurt or negatively impacted by my actions, but it may have also led to positive change or release of pent-up emotions.

I hope you can see it
I hope others will understand why I acted the way I did.

For what I deserve
I accept the consequences of my actions and expect punishment or consequences.

The judge would ask, hy again, was it him
I may be held accountable for my actions and questioned by authorities or others in positions of power.

And not her
I may try to deflect blame or place responsibility elsewhere.

The only response I could think was
I may struggle with accepting responsibility for my actions or finding a way to justify them.

To settle my nerves
I may try to blame others or seek external validation to feel better about what I have done.

And try
I may not fully commit to owning up to my actions or making amends.

Killing my leeches
I may feel that hurting or punishing others will bring me a sense of relief or peace.

For sucking me speechless
I may feel that others have taken advantage of me or silenced me.

Abandoning secrets
I may feel that others have betrayed my trust or shared my personal information without permission.

And trust
I may struggle with trusting others due to past experiences or my own actions.

All the same
Despite my actions or justifications, I still may face consequences and responsibility for what I have done.

So I deserve
I acknowledge the pain I have caused and the need for punishment or consequences for my actions.

What I deserve
I accept my responsibility for my actions and seek accountability and consequences.

Hmm-mm-mm
