Barely visible to me
Like a shadow over me
Constantly reminding me,
That I’m not good enough.

A raging sea; you’ve come to me
Screaming songs of jealousy
Anger pouring out your teeth
And still you speak of love.

When did it all come to this?
Complicated as it is
I would never put these chains on you
How long do you think it takes,
Before these chains begin to break?
I do whatever I need to do…

Here I am with ball and chain
My words helpless to explain
So I’m damned here to remain
Inside my cell to hide…
My innocence denied.

Believe I’m not a criminal
You treat me like an animal
No matter what I say, I don’t get through
When did we become this way?
I can’t find the words to say
I’m guilty of a crime I didn’t do…

I’m not a criminal.

See, I’ve been here time after time
But no man can commit a crime
If what he does is unintentional.
Convict me of a worthless past…
Prosecute the innocent…
But I am no worthless criminal!

Still I sit inside my cell
A little place to call my Hell
One day hoping to rebel
And speak the words of truth
To clear my name anew…
The criminal is you.
