about

"You may charge me with murder, or want of sense (we are all of us weak at times). But the slightest approach to a false pretense was never among my crimes."
- Lewis Carroll (Columbo: season 7, episode 5)

lyrics

“Before I agree to aid you, you must give me the names of victims”

Do I really look that foolish?

“We both know you’re incapable of doing this without me”
“Now out with the names, all three of them”

Did I say three? I suppose that’s fitting
A holy ghost in our strange trinity
A Platonic third man in our felosophy

“Behold, the hands of my betrayer are with me at the table”

Come now - I’m no more a betrayer than you’re a doctor

“Guilty as charged. You know who I am."
"I’m a criminal, and I know who you are.”
“You commit crimes for criminals, and against them as well."
"You are a criminal. You know who you are."

"You know who sent me."
I know who I am.

Only room for one criminal
Only time for one last crime
1 + 2 – 3
Felo de se

-.~*~.-

Is it any wonder how
Things have come to be this way?
Think I’ll have to tear it all down
Start again - but it’s not that easy

One plus one plus one, brick on brick on…
Building to a sum that will not be built to
Golden rules and Job, snakes and ladders
Eden’s paradox – the fact of all matters

Higher than infinity, less than nothing
Apostate divinity, this tower is crumbling

Raging trains of thought with just one weakness:
Completely limited by unlimited incompleteness
Therein lies the hook, or so we’ve reasoned
But reason is the crook, oh sweet Lord please have mercy

Higher than infinity, less than nothing
Apostate divinity, this tower is crumbling

Higher than infinity, less than nothing
Will to live return to me when one plus one means something
