**“THE BORDEN TIMELINE”** *Verse 1* I hit the time machine, sparks in the midnight rain, 1892, hear the old house call my name. Lizzy at the window, candle burning low, I knock three times, she whispers, “Who’d you come to know?” I said, “I’m from tomorrow, got a present in the trunk,” She saw the chainsaw and her eyebrow kinda jumped. “Never seen one of those,” she said with a little grin, I said, “It’s a friendship gift. Let the nightmare begin.” *Hook* Back through time, where the shadows still breathe, Made friends with Lizzy underneath the old trees. Chainsaw in a box with a blood-red bow, Two ghosts in the hallway watching us go. History changed when I stepped through the door, Now the past has got a little bit more horror. *Verse 2* We walked through Fall River while the moon hung pale, Every window looked like it had a story to tell. She asked about the future, I said, “You don't wanna know,” Then the chainsaw coughed like, **RRRRAAAAHHH**, down below. More victims in this version, just a timeline gone strange, I rewrote the ending and rearranged the page. The historians panic when the records don't align, “Who gave Lizzy Borden power tools in ’92?” *Hook* Back through time, where the shadows still breathe, Made friends with Lizzy underneath the old trees. Chainsaw in a box with a blood-red bow, Two ghosts in the hallway watching us go. History changed when I stepped through the door, Now the past has got a little bit more horror. *Outro* I jumped back home, but something followed me, A Victorian silhouette standing underneath the streetlight. She raised the chainsaw, smiled at the sky... Then my time machine started running by itself. **“NEXT STOP: 1692.”**
