From the album Defensible Space

lyrics

CONQUEST

there are pantomimes that signal
sincerity, trustworthiness
and lack of guile

defying controvertibility
by both best and worst
the softest and the hardest

and so, in seeming
as truthful as the truth, provide
carte blanche to confidence

you won’t notice, you won’t feel it
you won’t recall a thing

thus is how one manages
to elude the consequence
of one’s own misdeed

pre-empting or neutralizing
doubt or intuition
of a shady motive

even after something has
been done and doesn’t
seem to be quite-right

you won’t notice, you won’t feel it
you won’t recall a thing

people get away with murder
all the time, while they leave
their victims living

by such figurative degrees
with room for doubt to stand
but no air for it to breathe

i wasn’t lying when i’d told you
that i like you
one’s taste is not one’s conscience

you won’t notice, you won’t feel it
you won’t recall a thing
