Chaotic Neutral from Shadow Puppets by Spencer LaJoye

I got some paint on the wall next to the bookcase
I was a kid, but hell if I didn't know to hide it with a white lie
I spilled red wine on a white shag rug one night
It was an Airbnb, and I tried everything, but the morning came and I had to leave

I think about that sometimes
when I close my eyes
but there is an angel,
her legs tangled up in mine
One kiss makes me consider it

Wreaking just a little bit of havoc
I can't handle that in practice
5 Hail Marys, 4 Our Fathers,
self-prescribed for sabotage
But she's chaotic neutral
She says, "it's a part of you, so
what's a little paint on the wall,
a stain on the carpet is all
Don't think about it."
And I think about that

This college coach said when I felt turned on, to keep notes
I was a kid, but hell if I didn’t know to fight it, give a shy smile
He could have slipped a rubber band around my wrist
Still in his grip, but joke's on him, I kind of like the snap of it

I think about that sometimes
when I close my eyes
and there is a goddess
She says honesty is fine
One kiss makes me consider it

Wreaking just a little bit of havoc
I can't handle that in practice
5 Hail Marys, 4 Our Fathers,
self-prescribed for sabotage
But she's chaotic neutral
She says, "it's a part of you, so
what's a little paint on the wall,
a stain on the carpet is all
Don't think about it."
And I think about that

I used to wish that she was mine
I think I miss her all the time
If I confess her,
we could make a mess or better

We could wreak a little bit of havoc
I could handle that with practice
5 Hail Marys, 4 Our Fathers,
a little wine and holy water
She's chaotic neutral,
it's a part of you, so
what's a little paint on the wall,
a game in the hall,
a stain on the carpet is all
Don't think about it
