[00:11.26] Who wrote those lines on the wall?
[00:18.17] Let's retrace where they scrawled ancient characters.
[00:27.50] It's 2:00, and your sister's slip it falls,
[00:35.59] And the afternoon crawls across the room and tackles her.
[00:43.88] I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through,
[00:52.23] Cause I don't believe that you might be a murderess.
[01:01.10] But I saw inside each small, dark eye, as it was turning blue,
[01:07.23]
[01:10.41] All the strength inside to do just what the captain says and hang the rest.
[01:18.18]
[01:20.64] Moved by the rhyme in the psalm,
[01:27.47] We agreed that it was wrong, and to believe in it.
[01:35.32]
[01:37.75] Ooh, swooned the wall all night long,
[01:44.87] But a lie's a lie, no matter what guy's breath's in it.
[01:53.00] I don't know that I would go that far down some dark avenue,
[02:01.37] With a whispering crew of shadows all protecting it.
[02:09.01]
[02:10.13] But I saw inside each small white lie, as it was turning true,
[02:19.16] The ability to do all things expected of it.
[02:24.03]
[02:50.42] I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through,
[02:58.87] Cause I don't believe that you might be a piratess.
[03:03.53] Did you hide inside inside each small white lie, before it turned it's true,
[03:14.84] The ability to do what things the captain says
[03:23.92] Oh, murderess, in the wilderness,
[03:28.23] With your victims all around you.
[03:32.55] Their combined love forms a pool your knife's reflected in,
[03:41.29] And now I'm ready, too, with my throat to you.
[03:45.48] On this mountain. By this moon.
[03:50.05] What I want the most to do is prove I'm not like them.
