[Verse 1]

Thought I was the monster

So I kept to shadows all alone

Drew me out with tales of fated lovers

And pretty stones

But in love and witch hunts, all is fair

Once you had your hands on me

You dragged me to the town square

Made a mockery of me

You let me starve in public

Now it's my turn to air out

All you left to brew within me

While I was rotting in the stocks

[Chorus]

So hold me underwater

Best believe I will not melt

Saw me dancing with the devil

Or at least with someone else

Accuse me of abusing you

A limp doll stuck with pins

And you sure know how to work the crowd

So let the witch trial begin

[Verse 2]

The allegations started small

"I just had to be sure"

You weighed your precious trust against

What trials I could endure

Dunked me, wrung me out then cried

"You proved it to the town

I couldn't live without you

So thank God you didn't drown!"

[Chorus]

So hold me under water

Best believe I will not melt

Saw me dancing with the devil

Or at least with someone else

Accuse me of abusing you

A limp doll stuck with pins

And you sure know how to work the crowd

So let the witch trial...

[Verse 3]

You said I hung myself

As if you hadn't tied the noose

As if you hadn't watched my spirit

Break her neck, then cut her loose

And I thought she deserved it

I saw love on demagogue

But who'll be left for him to blame

When I am dead and gone?

[Chorus]

So hold me underwater

Till you wash away my sins

Saw me dancing with the devil

Or at least you thought you did

Accuse me of abusing you

A limp doll stuck with pins

But you sure know how to work the crowd

So let the witch trial...

[Chorus]

You held me underwater

Until I no longer kicked

But vanishing my sanity's

The only magic I ever did

Accused me of abusing you

But we both know the truth

The demons that you see possessing me

Have always found a better home

In you

[Verse 4]

Thought I was the monster

But you put the shadows all to shame

Careful you be kinder

Before I give the Salem mob your name
