Piratess

Who wrote those lines on the wall?

Let's retrace where they scrawled ancient characters

It's 2:00 and your sister's slip, it falls

And the afternoon crawls across the room and tackles

her

I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only

passing through

'Cause I don't believe that you might be a murderess

But I saw inside each small, dark eye as it was turning

blue

All the strength inside to do just what the captain

says and hang the rest

And moved by the rhyme in the psalm

We agreed that it was wrong and to believe in it

Ooh, swooned the wall all night long

But a lie's a lie, no matter what guy's breath's in it

I don't know that I would go that far down some dark

avenue

With a whispering crew of shadows all protecting it

But I saw inside each small white lie as it was turning

true

The ability to do all things expected of it

I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only

passing through

'Cause I don't believe that you might be a piratess

Did you hide inside each small white lie, before you

turned it true

The ability to do all things the captain says?

Oh murderess in the wilderness, with your victims all

around you

Their combined love forms a pool your knife's reflected

in

And now I'm ready, too, with my throat to you. On this

mountain. By this moon.

And what I want the most to do is prove that I'm not

like them
