Crushed Vanilla Bean

VERSE 1:
The oil is spilled
And Chekhov's gun is fired
The fate is sealed
And even though the roots are well concealed
The truth is fireproof
And it's conspiracy is soundly admired

CHORUS:
I’m clean, so let me in
I’m stripped of grudges
A crushed vanilla bean
In front of righteous judges

VERSE 2:
So facts are clear
The gun was surely fired
This pale veneer
Of fondly re-imagined dead frontier
Appears to be good
And colorful but vastly uninspired

BRIDGE:
His mouth was this crooked
And obnoxious thing
That occupied big share of his eroded face
The mist of memories
In creases of his wrinkles
Are statements printed in the uppercase
