The Case Of William Smith - Astronautalis[00:00:00]

William holds his palm out proud upon the bible lays it down[00:00:09]

And solemnly swears against it that every word is true[00:00:21]

Searching through the faceless crowd[00:00:26]

In the hallowed auditorium[00:00:29]

He sees that everyone is turned against him[00:00:31]

And his endless pursuit the saga that he spells out[00:00:35]

Has mothers grabbing children grown men twisting mustaches[00:00:40]

As priests smooth out their suits but william hammers right along[00:00:45]

And ignores the banging gavel of[00:00:51]

The judges plea for order in the chaos of the room[00:00:54]

Outside my cell there is an oak that grows[00:00:59]

Through the fence line and towards the sun[00:01:03]

They built a barrier of barbs flush butted against its bark[00:01:05]

And still its burls unfurled into branches strong[00:01:08]

The silver thorns that hem in my hole[00:01:11]

Snare me here through sun and snow[00:01:13]

While barbs may scar they cannot stop the mighty oak[00:01:14]

Burgeoning upward and out disfigured no doubt[00:01:17]

The persistent sapling made stout by its daggered escape route[00:01:19]

Once it finally stands tall its limbs will make the fence fall[00:01:22]

The slowest getaway car that the guard ever saw[00:01:25]

The warden scratches his bald patches[00:01:27]

And raises arms in the air he wonders how this happened[00:01:29]

Despite decades to prepare in this I found the faith[00:01:32]

That you'd see my sentence a mistake[00:01:34]

Discharge me from this place and reinstate me in your grace[00:01:35]

The truth will set you free one day[00:01:38]

My father promised me but I'd never thought[00:01:40]

The truth would come this way quite honestly[00:01:42]

William holds his palm out proud upon the bible lays it down[00:01:43]

And solemnly swear against it that every word is true[00:01:49]

Searching through the faceless crowd in the hallowed auditorium[00:01:54]

He sees that everyone is turned against him[00:02:00]

And his endless pursuit[00:02:03]

If you had told me back then that the words from my pen[00:02:05]

Would've branded me a paynim[00:02:09]

I would never changed a damn thing[00:02:10]

I am sure it's shocking to your ears[00:02:11]

That the treaties you revere would suffer such assessment[00:02:13]

At the stylus of confrere but I am more than well aware[00:02:15]

How you all were unprepared to stare into the sun[00:02:17]

As it means to pick apart its flares[00:02:21]

With my covenant in question and career upon the line[00:02:23]

I will suffer your reckless sanctions[00:02:25]

With the clarity of mind that the charges that you lay[00:02:27]

Against my character of faith will burden you with shame[00:02:30]

When you face the presumed paradise[00:02:32]

And he knows well as I that his heralds can carol flat songs[00:02:34]

The refrains ring familiar but the words just seem a tad wrong[00:02:37]

God is just a breath away[00:02:39]

He lives a kiss from your lips but his message can mutate[00:02:41]

As it drifts from mount to chisel tips[00:02:43]

So this is it my suffrage sings its swan song[00:02:45]

Your suspicions set me sovereign[00:02:47]

From the restriction of your sad bonds[00:02:49]

While you edit me from existence for continuity[00:02:51]

May the Lord be always in your footsteps[00:02:52]

To document your lunacy[00:02:55]

William holds his palm out proud Upon the bible lays it down[00:02:56]

And solemnly swears against it that every word is true[00:03:01]

Searching through the faceless crowd[00:03:06]

In the hallowed auditorium[00:03:09]

He sees that everyone is turned against him[00:03:11]

And his endless pursuit the saga that he spells out[00:03:14]

Has mothers grabbing children grown men twisting mustaches[00:03:20]

As priests smooth out their suits but william hammers right along[00:03:25]

And ignores the banging gavel of[00:03:31]

The judges plea for order in the chaos of the room[00:03:34]
