The Fifty Second Murderer Lyrics

Who waits at the end of that hallway?
Who lurks outside of the frame?
Whose hand keeps the doors from closing?
Who's there? Who's to blame?

Whose face in the mirror's reflection?
Whose name on the tip of her tongue?
Whose shoe as we see her leaving?
Whose song stays unsung?

Young and carefree, flowers, gown and mortar
Bone white, floating face up in the water
Eyes blank in the tank on the roof

You made your bed
But no-one came to wake you, elisa
From a dorm room to the ether fields
To a ladder on the fifteenth floor
You made your mark
But no-one seemed to listen, elisa
To a rushdie quote at forest lawn

What force leads a person to murder?
What thoughts lead a girl to the roof?
Whose voice keeps a case from closing?
What facts and whose truth?

I was there, I'm still there
And I'll be there forever, I'll always be there

Who's there between the cuts? Fifty second murderer
