lyrics
Thoughtcrime
Do I love you?
Oh let me count the ways
I've murdered you within the deep recesses of my brain
I painted on a smile
Shaking hands when all the while
My heart’s locked in a buried chest of hate
Bust the coffers open, let the money flow
Oh the more I let you see me give, the more my ego grows
Shout prayers on the street
Blowing trumpets cause I think
My gifts will earn the love of everyone I know
I think I thought "I won't get caught this time"
No not this time
I washed my hands but couldn't cleanse my mind
Of my thoughtcrime
Am I faithful? In this fact you can trust.
Of all my closet vices, the most gripping one is lust
I’ve cheated on you so many times
If I gouged out both my eyes
It’d do no good, no
I think I thought "I won't get caught this time"
No not this time
I washed my hands but couldn't cleanse my mind
Of my thoughtcrime
Now the verdict?
I'm guilty as they come
The persecution found my blood and fingerprints right on the gun
But when it comes to casting stones
I ain’t the judge, I got no throne
Let him who never sinned throw the first one
I think I thought "I won't get caught this time"
No not this time
I washed my hands but couldn't cleanse my mind
Of my thoughtcrime
