[Verse 1] My object all sublime I keep it in my mind A needle made of light Threading through the night I mark the hidden seam I sharpen up the dream The case is cold but clear I’ve waited long enough here [Pre-Chorus] So let it come around Let the gavel kiss the ground I want the scales to sing On the edge of everything [Chorus] To make the punishment fit the crime Fit the crime To make the punishment fit the crime Fit the crime My object all sublime I shall achieve in time [Verse 2] You wore the borrowed face You left no kind of grace But every lie you spun Turns back beneath the sun I kept the final clue Like a blade inside my shoe Now every step you take Feels like the earth might break [Pre-Chorus] So let it come around Let the gavel kiss the ground I want the scales to sing On the edge of everything [Chorus] To make the punishment fit the crime Fit the crime To make the punishment fit the crime Fit the crime My object all sublime I shall achieve in time [Bridge] And if I’m wrong, I’m wrong But I have held on long To the shape of what was lost To the price, to the cost [Final Chorus] To make the punishment fit the crime Fit the crime To make the punishment fit the crime Fit the crime My object all sublime I shall achieve in time
