Track #7 The Crime

Let me start at my favorite part, which is the end
Where no one wins at the game
With Achilles tendencies your weak but with such subtleties,
As you play, taking aim
And Shakespeare’s ghost could write a host of tragedies
Committed in your name
And agony and ecstasy play out like Antigone, what a shame

Now don’t you know, that it shows?
‘Cause you can hide behind your lie
Pretending no one sees the crime but now I do

Sunday drivers always crash
It was me who broke the looking glass, for the last time
Sophocles could never dream more bitter men
Then such as these, in his whole life, his whole life
And floating in sea of flowers Ophelia wastes the drifting hours
Just like me, baby
And I’ll play your Persephone
And down I go to Hades you see, I am burning

So does it show, now that you know?
‘Cause I can hide behind my lie
Pretending no one sees the crime but now you do
Stars are tearing down our sky and we’re spinning

Oh my love, what have we done?
If you’re guilty so am I
Where’s the truth this time?
Are we blind? Is love our only crime?

Caught a tiger by the tail
But gravity was bound to fail in this cage
And falling like young Icarus
Our feathers burnt our shoulders blistered with pain, no remains
And much ado about nothing
The humor our suffering with each day
But seeing like the Sybil fair
The path is dark so all beware of the way

And now we know, the truth is shown
‘Cause we can hide behind the lie
Pretending no one sees the crime but now don’t you?
And we can hide behind the lie
Pretending no one sees the crime but now don’t you?
