Sentenced

[Verse 1]
I couldn’t follow our distorted old rubric
I tried so hard to be the one who improves it
But the harder I fought, the worse we got
I got lost and I let my morals get diluted

[Chorus 1]
A gavel strike
Can end a life
But still my gavel falls
Like endless cannonballs
The sounds echo back and haunt my dreams
They’re taunting me, telling me that
I’m the one who will be sentenced
Sentenced today

[Verse 2]
How did my own code get so fragile and fluid?
Isn’t it obvious that my consciеnce has bruises?
I just wanna come clеan, but don’t you see?
My hands are tied by an institution in ruins

[Bridge]
All the weight on my shoulder
Replaced by monsters
The face in the mirror
I barely know her
I became a foot soldier who swings for the ones that hold power

[Chorus 2]
A gavel strike
Can end a life
But still my gavel falls
Like endless cannonballs
The sounds echo back and haunt my dreams
They’re taunting me, telling me that
I’m the one who will be sentenced
Sentenced to a lifetime of nightmares

[Build]
Ooh-ooh-ohh-ohh
Ooh-ooh-ohh-ohh

[Outro]
In another life (Ooh-ooh-ohh-ohh)
I would pay the price (Ooh-ooh-ohh-ohh)
Of a million crimes (Ooh-ooh-ohh-ohh)
‘Til the end of time (Ooh-ooh-ohh)
