    Lyrics
    A CACOPHONY OF NEAR-FATAL MISTAKES:
    (Or: Jury Recital, Lead Sheet In Hand)

    I am a pathetic match peddler
    With a bare face and shaky hands
    Uncertain of what’s supposed to happen
    Pushed forward and confused, a
    Tumbling nonsequetorial tragedy
    In progress, grating and filled with
    Sickening gut slackening fear as I
    Am instructed how to beg,
    Then it starts and I am the
    Skull shattering king of ultimate carnage,
    A cloak of carrion, the mask of fury,
    I revel, liquid, melting
    My fingers flying as grist and sinew
    I create a fray, a living maw
    And I war desperately, giving birth
    Through frantic adjustments
    And continuous preemptive saves
    As I become a cacophony of near fatal mistakes.
