THE LONE SUSPECT

Day 3 (2020). Lyrics by Dan Zlotnick

​

Yesterday’s paper is still on the lawn    

The fugitive warning that my face is on

Wanted for stealing the life of a man

Now I’m the lone suspect, there’s blood on my hands

 

The victim was happy, a joyous young soul      

He dreamt like wildfire, and his heart made you full

But then I took over and I made him new plans

Now I’m the lone suspect, there’s blood on my hands

 

Now you might say I am a monster inside

But we both know about those monsters you hide

I’m just outspoken so I understand

Why I’m the lone suspect, there’s blood on my hands

 

I kept him locked up, I stole all his sparks

But the fire is burning me out

 

The police came knocking, and what did they see?     

The victim recovered and the ashes of me

Dream like wildfire ‘cause that’s all you can do

Doubt is my name and I’m coming for you
