What Did You Know?

What Did You Know?

Husband:

Something’s come to our attention

There’s always been a presence here

Hidden under your pretention

Is a heartless and cold fear

Wife:

More than water in the basement

Or foundations rife with mold

Duet:

You’ve been keeping something from us

Something that you should have told

What did you know and when did you know it?

Give us the message you received

You kept a secret

A dangerous secret

There is no trust here once deceived

Did a child go off to wander?

Did no one report a crime?

Is he missed, or just forgotten?

Are there even bones for us to find?

What did you know and when did you know it?

How could you think we’d remain deceived

We rip up this contract – this damnable contract

We’ll see you in court, you fucking thief!

Watcher & Ghostly Chorus:

No Blood pudding in the pantry, An mpty ouse gain his ear

Beds were turned down, but no one’s around, who hears what there’s to hear

Who hears the floors whisper?

Who hears the walls mumble?

Who knows? Who’s there?

Who feels the rumble?

What did they know? When did they know it?
