The Makeshift Conqueror Pt. II

Verse 1:

Another struggle with the enemy within
Eager to teach with my patience wearing thin
Unarmed I charge right into another defeat

The same old patterns emerge once more
With the same old holes and cracks in the floor
No need to repair the incomplete

Chorus:

Makeshift conqueror
Blindfolded enlightenment
Aimless wanderer
Try to scale the mountain with one hand

Verse 2:

I did not necessarily think this through
But it'll keep me afloat for a minute or two
Step by step with some steps missing in between

According to the plan I won't stick to the plan
According to the plan I know better in the end
Misguided conviction the like you've never seen

Chorus:

Makeshift conqueror
Blindfolded enlightenment
Aimless wanderer
Try to scale the mountain with one hand

Makeshift conqueror
Indiscretion evident
Aimless wanderer
Try to weather the current with one hand

Interlude:

Wit has found its end
My wit has finally found its end
No need to pretend
I failed no need to pretend
House of cards collapsed
My makeshift house of cards collapsed
Time display elapsed
My makeshift time display elapsed

Am I doomed to live like this?
Self-inflicted judas kiss
Am I doomed to live like this?
Resolving my issues hit or miss

Interlude II:

Every hole I dig myself into
Becomes a well in the end oh I seem to
Have found a way to scrape by
Have found a way to deny

Still I struggle with the enemy within
Eager to teach but my patience's wearing thin

Leads: Kötterl/Schafberger

Bridge:

If there's chance to leave it all behind
Wipe the chaos away and no longer be so blind

Would it still be the same the life I'd want to live?
Would I still do my best with all I have to give?

But the flaws that I carry so deep within
Are as much a part of me as the battles that I win

And the makeshift nature of the way I prevail
Will ensure each battle will become a worthwhile tale

Just like this tale
Of the makeshift conquerer I am
