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 sign Why don't you just cooperate? Make this easier on us all Make this easier on us all Can 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
