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 It's 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 --- Murder and Crime - Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine
