[verse 1]
a tell-tale heart is softly beating
behind the walls, the floor, the ceiling
of the locked room where we’re kneeling
to touch the stain left by your bleeding
which formed this imprint of your head

[verse 2]
can these clues be more intriguing?
no whodunit is this misleading
we’ve deduced you can’t be breathing
so are we premature in grieving
though it’s very clear that you are dead?

[bridge]
so bringing wits and secret ciphers
ipads, quills, pens, and typewriters
the book world’s prominent insiders
arrive to make our burden lighter
and to have a look around
that’s when gaiman, moore, and king say
“we have found a hidden doorway”
going down a winding staircase
in lewis carroll style, our foray
shortly leads us underground

[verse 3]
to a shadowy room that is concealing
truths sir doyle’s candlelight’s revealing
not dead-ends, canards, or double dealings
herrings red, or dark deceivings
folklore, myths, tall-tales, or fables

[verse 4]
it is the thing we’ve all been seeking
once diaphanous and fleeting
a tell-tale heart still softly beating
wrapped in parchment we are reading
nailed to a bl–dy, broken table

[verse 5]
wide-eyed, stunned, barely breathing
each sleuth silently retreating
without the need to say in leaving
“there is enough here for believing
that is, of course, -ssuming we are able”

[outro]
so in the end there’s this
the stunning final twist
all in all
we never saw
all we are now seeing
