Nohidea - The locket (prod. nohidea) lyrics

Moonlit cafe, jazz in the background Clock strikes 12 as my partner gets sat down "Mad town, ain't it?" heard him say between the sirens But we both knew the answer so there's no point in replying now Someone made a call about an hour ago About a body found, left out on countington road No signs of struggle, no trauma sticking out or exposed Just a heart-shaped locket with two flowers enclosed A single rose in a gold-tinted tunic With an old-scented tulip wrapped around it's fragile stem And behind the flora's aura was engraved a battle hymn It read "Better find me before I do it again" No cause of d**h was ever found, nor identity recovered It resembled a cadaver that was placed to be discovered And it only took two weeks until we found another But this time it was the figure of our home state's governor Wait, wait, wait, wait, no... heart racing The same circumstance, location, and pacing? The same twisted flowers, same fingerprint erasing And the same heart shape with the same gold casing? The same engraving, but now a new message: "This was your last chance to learn your lesson." A threat in/of itself, but upon further inspection The carvings housed tainted blood samples and resin Close examination led to find the same poison In the body of the first victim that had been reported Details recorded, mulled over, and considered Were thought to be going nowhere until we received a picture Of our victims at a party, hot and heavy, sharing hands The governor was thought to be a faithful, married man So when his wife was named the culprit and was rottin' in the can I knew that I had been successful when I had thought to lay my plan
