Rule Of 3

(Chris Orbach)

"Rule Of 3" -- Music & Lyrics by Chris Orbach

No hidden box
No secret ring
Fate of the prince at the feet of the king
Only a name to follow you down and down

Room after room
Wire after wire
Trouble in bloom at the hands of desire
Blown like a leaf never to reach the ground

But the things that you see
Up in that churning sky
What do they mean,
And why do you care so?
‘Cause your place in the dark
Is gonna be lighted soon by a mocking moon
While the floor is strewn with..

..Puzzles and poems
Pictures refused
Pieces of you that nobody could use
But you took the call, and there's no breaking free

A sentence was passed
No one can tell
Who would believe that the world is your cell
20 to life for breaking the Rule Of 3

All the things that you see
Up in that churning sky
What do they mean,
And why do you care so?
In one moment of calm
You’re gonna fall so fast, and the rising grass
May just be your last...

...The nightmare's gone
It’s easy to hide
Sated with something like love at your side
There in her arms, leave all you tried to be
But all through the night
Nothing sits right
You twist and you turn and you pray for the light
Four's at the door, ending the Rule of 3
