lyrics

small town denial
judgement
carried out without a trial

he won't deserve we miss him
he made a fool of everyone
anyone in her position
is too tangled up to run
a peculiar kind of justice
but trust that it was done

street lights
gone dark
strange sounds
from the woods behind the park
where all the wild things are

shadows moving
towards the water
god forgive our
sons and daughters
the books are balanced
when her work is through
this town can keep a secret
and so can you

the nightmare
mist lifts
blank fear
is now made clear and eclipsed

she was covered in bruises
from years of abuses
and those who would choose his
deflections, excuses

anyone could understand
you took your own heart in her own hands
no need to confess
this town will bless
doing what it might take
chaining you was his mistake
he should have known
you'd cut before you'd break

he wouldn't let you leave but now you're safe

shadows moving
towards the water
god forgive our
sons and daughters
the books are balanced
when her work is through
this town can keep a secret
and so can you

the books are balanced
when her work is through
this town can keep a secret
and so can you
