Piratess-Okkervil River

[00:11.26]Who wrote those lines on the wall? [00:18.17]Let's retrace where they scrawled ancient characters. [00:27.50]It's 2:00, and your sister's slip it falls, [00:35.59]And the afternoon crawls across the room and tackles her. [00:43.88]I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through, [00:52.23]Cause I don't believe that you might be a murderess. [01:01.10]But I saw inside each small, dark eye, as it was turning blue, [01:07.23] [01:10.41]All the strength inside to do just what the captain says and hang the rest. [01:18.18] [01:20.64]Moved by the rhyme in the psalm, [01:27.47]We agreed that it was wrong, and to believe in it. [01:35.32] [01:37.75]Ooh, swooned the wall all night long, [01:44.87]But a lie's a lie, no matter what guy's breath's in it. [01:53.00]I don't know that I would go that far down some dark avenue, [02:01.37]With a whispering crew of shadows all protecting it. [02:09.01] [02:10.13]But I saw inside each small white lie, as it was turning true, [02:19.16]The ability to do all things expected of it. [02:24.03] [02:50.42]I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through, [02:58.87]Cause I don't believe that you might be a piratess. [03:03.53]Did you hide inside inside each small white lie, before it turned it's true, [03:14.84]The ability to do what things the captain says [03:23.92]Oh, murderess, in the wilderness, [03:28.23]With your victims all around you. [03:32.55]Their combined love forms a pool your knife's reflected in, [03:41.29]And now I'm ready, too, with my throat to you. [03:45.48]On this mountain. By this moon. [03:50.05]What I want the most to do is prove I'm not like them.
