[The storm suddenly breaks]1
[In a car, on the coast]
Who stole the life from you?
Who turned you so against you?
Who was the thief who shaved your teeth
Accepting just virtue
And did he act alone?
Were any more complicit?
When he would sing and offer the ring
What older voice said, "kiss it"?
Fire can't doubt its heat
Water can't doubt its power
You're not adrift,
You're not a gift,
You know you're not a flower

This album tells a story, so these function like scene headings in a screenplay and give additional information and context to the lyrics. This song is a continuation of "Cassius - " and the story is continued in the next song, "Kept Woman."
