death row

I will forever lock myself up in this fortress
To inhibit myself from being useless
I confess to the crime I committed
Standing guilty to everyone in sight
I’m the culprit for manslaughter
And all of the heinous crimes known to man
I’m a shadow casted from a dim light
With no regard to human life

Yes I am evil, yes I am mad
But how can I help it?
When all along beneath this thick armor
This crooked mask and my sham laughter
Is a frail heart with no control
A moron who does not know
Which ones are just or which ones are wicked

Here I am tapping out
Giving up everything, all that I’ve got…
To the jury, please step out
Bring on the executioner and end it all up
Chain me right here and award me the guillotine
Hang me up today or better yet, electrocute me quick
I beg you, take away this pain in me…

To the cavaliers, please hold your horses
Come to think of it
Isn’t “that” the only misdeed that I concocted?
Was it that bad that I have to suffer this much pain and anguish?
When all the while, the only thing I was trying to utter are those three twisted words…
Words that could give me either bliss or death…
But I chose to be silent, so please take my spirit now…
