Murder and Crime

Evidence known so long

Oh god, I'm lost in my wrongs

Everything froze like stone

Saw your heart couldn't take much more

My boy, I don't know why this life

Is so cruel and unkind but it weighs on my heart

All joys were taken from your eyes

As the law would abide in murder and crime

Hard lines as the fossil defines

Its own shadow in lime and reveals how it dies

If anything goes, then everything's flawed

Oh, my love, what the violence has caused

Malevolence flowed from beyond

And my heart cannot take much more

Oh joy, I'm afraid of the light

As the jewel of my mind begins to fall apart

Do not destroy what has taken its time

As the Lord would abide in murder and crime

Oh my love, I don't know why this life

Is so cruel and unkind but it weighs on my heart

Fading lines as the fossil denies

Its own shadow in time to conceal how it died

Evidence known, march on

Oh god, I'm lost in the antiphon

Where does everything go when everything's gone?

For my heart cannot break much more
