Mother of Pearl Lyrics

A cool day for a tidal wave
Drowned impressions falsely made
A cold stare makes light of this
Size me up, make sure that it fits

And I'll be so nonchalant
You can call me, call if you want
I know you've thought of this
Down the hammer, case dismissed

Guilty's the sun whose shadow's in doubt
The argument's weak, the jury's still out
I won't say anything
But write it in the sky
Mother of pearl

We took a photograph
You looked upset, so I tore it in half
You screamed I wasn't fair
The picture was proof that you didn't care

And I'll see you get ahead
Writing the words that I should have said
Death to the one accused
Goodbyes were written, none of them used

Guilty's the sun whose shadow's in doubt
The argument's weak, the jury's still out
I won't say anything
Just write it in the sky
Mother of pearl
Guilty's the sun who swallows in doubt
The testament's weak, the jury's still out
He won't say anything
Just write it in the sky
Mother of pearl

A cruel death, a perfect defense
I slept through the work
But the cover made sense

Guilty's the one who's always in doubt
The argument's weak, the jury's still out
I won't say anything
But write it in the sky
Mother of pearl
Guilty's the sun whose shadow's in doubt
The argument's weak, the jury's still out
I won't say anything
But write it in the sky
Mother of pearl

Guilt is the one thing we could do without
Judgement, the anvil, it's weighting us down
We could do anything
We write it in the sky
Mother of pearl.
