you wake up to the crackling sound of fire
right outside your window on a normal winter evening
you're alive but so is everyone else in this town
they know what you've done
they know who you've become

guess the cat's out of the bag
they judge what they can't understand
they won't listen if you try to explain it
it started out as just a bit of fun
now it's gotten out of hand

all the friends you used to laugh with
are now screaming your name
they want you to repent for your sins
but you did nothing wrong
you didn't take anything that wasn't already yours

if she called them out here to burn you
then where is she?
"take the knife and stab me in the heart yourself"
you scream back at them
knowing she isn't there
and nor is he

after all, he left one morning
rocked your boat the night before
just to flee the scene
with bloody hands and bruises on his knees
told everyone what you were capable of
conveniently erasing his existence in the story

oh, i guess the cat's out of the bag
the full moon's white and you know
it's that time of the year
it's time to make them understand why you're here

all their husbands drowning in infidelity
and their wives crying out in misery
they blame everyone but themselves in this town
it's time, it's time
i say it's time to let it out

bury their bodies as you crack the ground
no coffins for the wicked
no forgiveness for the sinners
no love for the faithless
burn them out
