"A Perfect Crime" lyrics

"A Perfect Crime"

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with me
I'm squeaky clean
I've done a hundred hours trauma therapy voluntarily
And apparently, that's all I need
So you can read my rights
And start the tape
Take down my confessions, I won't hesitate
And it will be the truth
But what's the use?
In my head, I'm all confused

'Cause I don't wanna know my secrets
The skeletons hiding in my closet
That keep rattling around and around and around in the night
Those dogged memories are haunting me
Am I a murderer?
Am I a murderer?
Am I? Am I?

Where did I hide
All the bodies I forgot about
All the killings I deleted out
Where will I find
The innocence I left behind
Justice for a perfect crime

They found a knife in a bloody sheet
Thrown into a lake and someone spotted me
But that just can't be right, I look alike
My boyfriend ought to know, 'cause he was fucking me all night
You took my DNA, what does it say?
I wish I could remember
I'm a little bit afraid of all the missing frames I can't regain
Hope I never get to see them play

I don't wanna know my secrets
The skeletons hiding in my closet
That keep rattling around and around and around in the night
Those dogged memories are haunting me
Am I a murderer?
Am I a murderer?
Am I? Am I?

Where did I hide
All the bodies I forgot about
All the killings I deleted out
Where will I find
The innocence I left behind
I left behind

Where will I find
Justice for a perfect crime

Well, I remember a story I read in a paper about some girl, some Jane Doe
And I'm wondering did she decide to drive that car off the road all alone
I don't know
