Lyrics:

You cause nothing but trouble wherever you burn
You’re the sunlight in my open eyes, but I won't go blind today
'Cause when liars lead minds with their wiles
And clever distractions, I see through them

And I’ve got experience dealing with repeat offenders
They swing from my branches, like unripened fruit, found wanting when weighed
With all of the evidence finally laid out in front of me, I can almost taste
A confession, a confession

So if the court would stay quiet for only a second
I’m pleased to make my case, and tell my story
But wait just a moment I’m passing a motion; I also am the judge, and the jury
You should worry, you should worry

Where are you leading us? All is malodorous evil
The reddest of herrings is wearing a worrying scent
You ask if I’m serious, why am I acting so gleeful?
What do I want? Should you rather abscond or repent?

Abscond or repent? Settle the score?
No lawyer needs a spider in their corner shredding documents for sport

Now, deciding your fate is no simple matter
Because part of me knows that I would miss you
But you’re so complicated, I couldn’t pin you down
And now you’re becoming an issue

Little thief on the run, I’m a witch hunt of one
And the very first question I’ll ask in your interrogation
Was all of it, everything, just one big game? And if so was it luck of the throw, your misrepresentation?
And subsequent incrimination, incrimination

While I was dreaming I learned a brand new way of seeing
From a fetus, a mother, but also a beast and a ghost
You ask if I’m kidding, you’re having a hard time believing
Am I villain or victim? Why can’t I be neither, or both?

Neither or both? It’s either/or
It’s not multiple choice, you stupid girl
Why don’t you break that magic eight ball, and give a coin a whirl
Give a coin a whirl

Give into the law
Confess, you silly girl
