Cassandra

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, they're screaming

In the streets, there's a raging riot

When it's "Burn the witch," 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 something

The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line

They all said nothing

Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul

You can mark my words that I said it first

In the morning 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?

Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah

I was onto something

Ah-ah-ah, ah

They all said nothing

Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul

You can mark my words that I said it first

In the morning warning, no one heard

No one heard, not a single word was heard

When the first stone's thrown, they're screaming

In the streets, there's a raging riot

When it's "Burn the witch," they're shrieking

When the truth comes out, it's quiet

It's so quiet
