This one feels like I bit off more than I could chew. Reading is fundamental, but counting is just asking for trouble.
It’s not drama you lack
so we’re braced for impact
and ready at all times
It’s not common sense
but a lack of pretense:
the worst of your crimes
In the long gone days
behaving those ways
would earn a reward
Now we must wish for
a guillotine swish or
a fall upon your sword
All you had to do was
behave and get through
You failed at the task
And now what’s ahead
could leave us both dead
No more questions to ask
In the days yet to come
you won’t get to play dumb
or be fined what you can afford
We’ll stand you up haggard
And hand you a scabbard so
you can fall upon your sword

Congrats to you to take on this unique time signature. It always feels like there's no particular place to land in your mind on this, and the trail off at the end continues that. Really fits the lyrics.

I think odd time signatures are so cool. It sounds like you pulled it off to me!
