Life Sentence

(album: Malicious Intent - 2022)

Burn the bridges, bathe in the ash
Gave it all I had, now it's time to take it back
I feel hollow, an empty shell
Just a prisoner of myself
Just a prisoner of myself

You can't see the sun
When your judgement is clouded
Words break silence
But your actions speak louder
No rest for the wicked
Behind these cold steel bars
This is my life sentence
Guilty as charged

Relentless silence
This is my life sentence
Everlasting conviction
Guilty as charged

Life sentence

Convicted, sentence to serve (sentence to serve)
Incarceration for this life on Earth
Life sentence

Relentless silence
Everlasting conviction

No longer recognize the face in the mirror
Scream into the void but no one's listening
I'll take the blame, a product of my own mistakes
Still scratching at the same four walls
Lock me down, I will never be tamed
Quick to judge but you don't know my pain
Foundations crumble
Ready for the final outcome

Just a prisoner, just a prisoner
Just a prisoner of myself
Just a prisoner, just a prisoner
I'm just a prisoner of myself
Fuck!

Guilty as charged
