lyrics

Admission, of mind
Is blinded, and tied
By pretty, white lies
I picked up all the pieces (left inside…)

I am the perfect Alibi
I am the perfect Alibi
(If not the perfect bride)

Sedition, the crime
Of holding back tides
With blades of silence
The sacrificial lamb crawled in (and died…)

I am the perfect Alibi
I am the perfect Alibi
(If not the perfect bride)

Baptism, of pride
Is falling like fire
I’m crowded by violence
And burning all the bridges (I have tried)

I am the perfect Alibi
I am the perfect Alibi
(If not the perfect bride)
