A Brilliant Ally

Blacklisted incidentally
Did I choose it or it choose me
Did I force your hand with my inquiry
Are you ever going to talk to me

No one offers evidence
No one suspects innocence

You don't reply conveniently
I thought I acted admirably
I admit my mistake
But I was never on the take

I know where my sympathies lie
I know where my sympathies lie
I know where my sympathy lies
Buried half-alive in shallow graves
Restless hungry for the light you gave
And stole away

Well I spoke without a unity (?)
Just to see what you were doing to me (?)
I guess this is my reward
That we can't reach some accord

I know where my sympathies lie
I know where my sympathies lie
I know where my sympathy lies
I know where my sympathy lies
