[00:00.62]I was in my new house placing daydreams
[00:05.67]Patching up the crack along the wall
[00:10.62]I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
[00:15.69]'Cause that's where I was when I got the call
[00:22.23]When the first stone's thrown there's screamin'
[00:27.50]In the streets there's a ragin' riot
[00:32.73]When it's burn the ***** they're shrieking
[00:37.85]When the truth comes out it's quiet
[00:43.32]So they killed Cassandra first
[00:45.57]'Cause she feared the worst
[00:47.95]And tried to tell the town
[00:53.60]So they filled my cell with snakes I regret to say
[00:58.18]Do you believe me now
[01:02.24]I was in my tower weaving nightmares
[01:07.40]Twisting all my smiles into snarls
[01:12.40]They say what doesn't kill you makes you aware
[01:17.44]What happens if it becomes who you are
[01:24.47]So they killed Cassandra first
[01:26.68]'Cause she feared the worst
[01:29.07]And tried to tell the town
[01:34.77]So they set my life in flames I regret to say
[01:39.33]Do you believe me now
[01:44.69]They knew they knew they knew the whole time
[01:48.90]That I was onto somethin'
[01:51.53]The family the pure greed the Christian chorus line
[01:56.12]They all said nothin'
[01:58.39]Blood's thick but nothin' like a payroll
[02:01.72]Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
[02:05.17]You can mark my words that I said it first
[02:08.83]In a mourning warning no one heard
[02:16.03]I patched up the crack along the wall
[02:20.93]I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
[02:26.19]'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all
[02:33.03]So they killed Cassandra first
[02:35.29]'Cause she feared the worst
[02:37.72]And tried to tell the town
[02:43.15]So they filled my cell with snakes I regret to say
[02:47.83]Do you believe me now
[02:57.57]I was onto somethin'
[03:04.53]They all said nothin'
[03:07.04]Blood's thick but nothin' like a payroll
[03:10.50]Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
[03:13.87]You can mark my words that I said it first
[03:17.21]In a mourning warning no one heard
[03:22.94]No one heard
[03:25.88]Not a single word was heard
[03:34.51]When the first stone's thrown there's screamin'
[03:37.87]In the streets there's a ragin' riot
[03:41.22]When it's burn the ***** they're shrieking
[03:44.69]When the truth comes out it's quiet
[03:50.50]It's so quiet

I was in my new house placing daydreams
Patching up the crack along the wall
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
'Cause that's where I was when I got the call
When the first stone's thrown there's screamin'
In the streets there's a ragin' riot
When it's burn the ***** they're shrieking
When the truth comes out it's quiet
So they killed Cassandra first
'Cause she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
So they filled my cell with snakes I regret to say
Do you believe me now
I was in my tower weaving nightmares
Twisting all my smiles into snarls
They say what doesn't kill you makes you aware
What happens if it becomes who you are
So they killed Cassandra first
'Cause she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
So they set my life in flames I regret to say
Do you believe me now
They knew they knew they knew the whole time
That I was onto somethin'
The family the pure greed the Christian chorus line
They all said nothin'
Blood's thick but nothin' like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
You can mark my words that I said it first
In a mourning warning no one heard
I patched up the crack along the wall
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all
So they killed Cassandra first
'Cause she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
So they filled my cell with snakes I regret to say
Do you believe me now
I was onto somethin'
They all said nothin'
Blood's thick but nothin' like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
You can mark my words that I said it first
In a mourning warning no one heard
No one heard
Not a single word was heard
When the first stone's thrown there's screamin'
In the streets there's a ragin' riot
When it's burn the ***** they're shrieking
When the truth comes out it's quiet
It's so quiet
