[Verse 1]
Hear the last confession of Vivian Whip
If you're reading this
"My life was lonely, never hurt a fly
Or spared a kiss
Never killed a soul except my own"

[Chorus]
But when I took you in my arms
I wonder why it took so long
For me to recognize this precious song
Had it been playing all along?

[Bridge]
Just when I needed it
When I couldn't conceive that it's
So hard to lose your nerve
To just get what you need
And not, not what you deserve

[Verse 2]
See the first impression of Vivian Whip
Still denied parole, he's etched in charcoal
Never hurt a fly or killed a soul
Entertained a doubt I cared about
[Chorus]
But now I fear we fear too much
I tried my best to keep my watch
To bear up in the light that strips
So stop my mouth up with your lips
