the witch of whitestone - the hearkening lyrics

i committed a sin
and now they want my head for it
but all that made me any different
was that i chose not to pretend to be perfect

what’s black and blue
and dead all over
not what, but who
and now his life could be over
what’s black and blue
and dead all over
was she a joke to you
or a riddle you couldn’t understand

see, i always knew the riddle, but i never got the joke

am i the puzzle you couldn’t piece back together
or the puzzle piecе that just wouldn’t fit
am i the puzzle you couldn’t piecе back together
or the puzzle piece that just wouldn’t fit

look in from the distance and cast your loving judgement
i feel the empty glances of those who don’t get it
opinions graze my skin, like sniper bullets
no questions are asked, just wrong answers are given
you shoot first, with scopes as narrow as your vision
sent me up to the heavens for target practice, and riddled me with holes ‘cause i looked a bit different
so riddle me this, and let my body pose the question
what’s black and blue
and dead all over
not what, but who
and now his life could be over
what’s black and blue
and dead all over
was she a joke to you
or a riddle you couldn’t understand

extra, extra, read all about it
another one gone ‘cause he just couldn’t stand it
it’s extra, excessive, i’ve read all about it
unwarranted hatred for the unwanted

suicide notes are written in fine print on the backs of your picket signs
and on the other side
faces are plastered beneath captions that read “unwanted:
dead or alive”
shrunken headlines are all printed in red
and the only ink left is the blood of the dead
who were tricked to mistreat themselves, but who’s at fault
you put the needle in their hearts like they were voodoo dolls

point the finger like a wand, making accusations
spilling out curses, casting only reflections
so spell out the sentence, and speak condemnation
but point the finger at yourself and chant the incantation
‘cause i’m the cover you judged before you read your own book
had you bothered to, you would have learned to look
into yourself first, to see you’re broken and hurt
and the cracks that you find, aren’t on the mirror
when will you get it
you’re k!lling the ones you were called to love
when will i get it
the god you’ve created is not who god is at all
