Heavens!
I’m sorry for your loss
A life cut short, it’s such a tragic plot
Oh, your poor daughter!
We’ll keep her in our thoughts
But what a disgrace, we're mourning while her killer freely walks
Jury’s out
They cry for retribution
Voices shout
“Her blood is on your hands!”
As if I’m not the one that has to live with
Red under nails that won’t wash out no matter how it ends
'pon the boundary of loss and dream
Irony put to sleep, so set
The scene
It’s her or me
Who’s it gonna be?
To lead a lie, or watch your daughter die
I forced the issue, what a waste of time!
It's wrong, it's right, and god, I'm so alive
So leave her behind, it's an eye for an eye!
Lethal injection, guillotine, electric chair
It’d all be so simple, oh if only I weren’t there!
I’ll slip the noose they tie
The fell boy's guilty as tried
“Her life for mine!”
Gracious!
The charges pile up
A guilty conscious, case open and shut
But wait, Your Honor!
It's such a noble cause!
It's not like the victim's here to see your jaded justice done
Did you know her?
Her dreams, her aspirations?
One single sentence, address the rest, so tell me how you knew her?
Embellish your relation
Pain that you feign for a stranger
'cuz you'd rather see me gone
Don't look away from the boy whose smile sparks a flame
Reclaimed, a crying shame that you don't feel the same
'pon the boundary of sight unseen
Irony lives and breathes
In rest
In grief
It’s her or me
Baby, who’s it gonna be?
To lead a lie, or watch your daughter die
I forced the issue, what a waste of time!
It's wrong, it's right, and god, I'm so alive
So leave her behind, it's an eye for an eye!
Cooked in a cauldron, drawn and quartered, firing squad
It’d all be so simple, oh if only I were gone!
I’ll slip the noose they tie
The fell boy's guilty as tried
“Her life for mine!”
Did you know her?
Did you know that heavy heart?
Did you know her?
A fragile ego adorned in scars
Did you know her?
Did you know the nights spent crying in a voice drawn low?
Did you know her?
If you knew, you’d know I had to let her go
To lead a lie or watch your daughter die
As if the choice could end with me alive
It’s wrong, it’s right, but god, if only I
could give up a life I can hardly call mine
Ring of the knell, the eulogy, the loss of heir
It’d all be so simple, oh, if only I weren’t there.
I'd give it one last try, if I could-
Leave it behind for the renegade life
To lead a lie, or watch your daughter die
I forced the issue, what a waste of time!
It's wrong, it's right, and god, I'm so alive
So leave her behind, it's an eye for an eye!
Lethal injection, guillotine, electric chair
It’d all be so simple, oh if only I weren’t there!
I’ll slip the noose they tie
The fell boy's guilty as tried
“Her life for mine!”
An ego set alight
A stray boy, justified
This life is mine
