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
