lyrics

Racing through a stale green
Hear the sirens wailing
See the headlights trailing
Feel the engine failing

Outside the car park
Spread out on a squad car
Muzzle of a sidearm
Left arm meets your right arm

Are you nervous?
A clown without a circus
Smiling with no purpose
Bruised beneath the surface

Sat down in an an old chair
Investigator’s cold glare
Turns into a bold stare:
“Nobody’s going nowhere”

Try to say you were far away
Your Heartbeat at a steady rate
Careful not to hesitate
Try to keep your story straight

Walk down the marbled hall
Suit and tie and game face on
Everybody’s eyes upon
The mothers child gone so wrong

Someone says to please stand
Black robe on an old man
Gavel in his right hand
Starts to read you gods plan

Outside the concrete walls
seven years behind you now
Every hour gone somehow.
All your life before you now
