call of the search
the body's been found
her family's dreams die here today
sigh relief, she suffers no more
eyes have gone vacant, skin is grey
untap the phones
and break down the stakeout
back the patrol cars off the lawn
"i left her alone," she screams in a breakdown
can't comprehend she's really gone
you're trapped in her chalk outline now
they need you hear right now
please press rewind
booked and then printed
the evidence hinted
these were premeditated crimes
a father's best friend
the neighbors were sickened
they'll call it reflection of our times
he sits in a cell looking over the menu
this is the last choice he will make
though he could not foresee it, this is where he'd be
sent to
it is a spell he cannot break
you're trapped in her chalk outline now
they need you hear right now
please press rewind
for one last moment if i could feel your touch
i know I’m asking way too much
i know I’m asking way too much
call off the search
a body's been found
her family's dreams die here today
sigh of relief
she suffers no more
eyes have gone vacant, skin is grey
you're trapped in her chalk outline now
they need you hear right now
