Fierce Flawless

She was cuffed to the truth like the truth was a chair

Bright interrogation light in her eyes

And her conscience lit a cigarette, just stood there

Waiting for her to crack, waiting for her to cry

And his face scampered through her mind

Like a roach across a wall

They made her skin sore

Yeah, they made her skin crawl

They said, "We got this confession, we just need for you to signWhy don't you just cooperate? Make this easier on us allMake this easier on us allCan make this easier on us all"'

Cause there was light and then there was darkness

But there was no line in between

And asking my heart for guidance

Was like pleading with a machine

Yeah, 'cause joy it has its own justice

And my dreams are languid and lawless

And everything bows to beauty

When it is fierce and when it is flawless

When, when it is fierce and when it is flawless

On the table were two ziploc baggies

Containing her eyes and her smile

They said, "We're keeping these as evidence'Til this thing goes to trial"

Meanwhile anguish was fingering solace

In another room down the hall

Both were love's accomplices

But solace took the fall

Now look at her book of days, it's the same on every page

And she's got a little tin cup with her heart in it

To bang along the bars of her rib cage

Bang along the bars of her rib cage'

Cause there was light and then there was darkness

But there was no line in between

And asking her heart for guidance

Was like pleading with a machine

Yeah, joy it has its own justice

And my dreams are languid and lawless

And everything bows to beauty

When it is fierce and when it is flawless

When, when, when it is fierce and, and when it's flawless

When, when, when it is fierce and, and when it's flawless

When it is fierce and, and when it is flawless

Fierce, flawless

Fierce, flawless

Fierce, flawless

Fierce, flawless
