Mother of Pearl Lyrics

A cool day for a tidal wave
Drown impressions falsely made
A cold stare makes light of this
Size me up make sure that is fits
I'll be so nonchalant
You can call me cold 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 in 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

I'll see you get ahead
Writing the words that I should have said
Deaf to the one accused
Goodbyes were written but
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
But write it in the sky in mother of pearl

Guilty's the son
Whose father's in doubt
The testament's weak
The jury's still out
But he won't say anything
Just write it in the sky in mother of pearl

A cruel bed a perfect defense
I slept through the book
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 in 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 in mother of pearl

Guilt is the one thing
We could do without
Judgment the anvil
That's weighing us down
If we could do anything
We'd write it in the sky in mother of pearl
