Okkervil River - Murderess lyrics

Who wrote those lines on the wall? Let's retrace where they scrawled ancient characters Ooh, did your sister take the fall? She was moved most of all by how you flattered her I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only pa**ing through 'Cause I don't believe that you would be a murderess But I saw inside each dark brown eye, as it was turning blue All the strength inside to do just what the captain says and hang the rest "Ooh," went the line in the song And we knew that it was wrong (though we believed in it) "Ooh," went the wall all night long But a lie's a lie, no matter what guy's breath's in it I don't know that it would show that it's a lie right off to you But I don't think I could see through the things protecting it Did you see inside each outright lie, as it was turning true The ability to do all things expected of it I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only pa**ing through 'Cause I don't believe that you would be a piratess Did you see inside each outright lie, as it was turning true All the strength inside to do all things the captain says? Oh, murderess, in the wilderness, with your victims all around you Their combined love forms a pool your knife's reflected in And now I'm ready, too, with my throat to you, on this island, by this moon What I want the most to do is show I'm not like them
