The Judged

(album: The Incubus - 2016)

Ladies and gentlemen of this jury
I'm here today to bring this criminal to justice
One whose crimes are so heinous and evil
That if I had the power of the almighty I'd sentence her soul to hell!

You've been accused of this horrid abuse
Advocate your lies and hide behind your bruise
I'm not the culprit, I'm the victim of perjury
I swear I'm innocent cause I'm the one who's
Guilty of the atrocities!
There's her confession, let's get on with the sentencing
That's bullshit!
He's the one who defiled me
See? She admitted it!
Honor you must convict!

I guess it's hard to see who is the blame
Stuck on the outside looking in
Humiliation fuels my shame
Want to shed off my skin

So discredit me and take it all
Because it seems I'm destined to fall
Disparage me and make the call
Deep down I know it's not my fault
I'm not to blame
How could I ever have asked for this?
So do your worst, I'll stand up tall
And I'll never feel guilty at all!

It's clear she instigated it
Sprits of chanel and her cherry lipstick
Used to tempt us with her smile over promiscuous dissident
Harlot's calamity
Order the penalty now!
Give her what she deserves
Lured him in with provocative beauty
She's done it before and she'll do it again
Trust me!

You're all so blind
How can't you see?
His argument's enormity
I've lost my faith in society
How could you do this to me?
To me

So discredit me and take it all
Because it seems I'm destined to fall
Disparage me and make the call
Deep down I know it's not my fault
I'm not to blame
How could I ever have asked for this?
So do your worst, I'll stand up tall
And I'll never feel guilty at all!

I will wake up, I will fight
Back to reality
I'd like to see you try
What a shame, I hope you said your goodbyes
I will prevail or I will die

Lock the cage, throw away the key
Settle in because you'll never be leaving
Lock the cage, throw away the key
You will suffer here, you will never leave

Lock the cage, throw away the key
Settle in because you'll never be leaving
Lock the cage, throw away the key
You will suffer here, you will stay asleep

You're all so sick, but now I see
This horrid dream is all just me
Blaming myself for this tragedy
But now I see it clearly

So discredit me and take it all
Because it seems I'm destined to fall
Disparage me and make the call
Deep down I know it's not my fault
I'm not to blame
How could I ever have asked for this?
So do your worst, I'll stand up tall
And I'll never feel guilty at all!
