Death Sentence

Sentenced for life
Ordered to breathe
Forced to exist
Sentenced for death
Ordered to rot
Forced to decay

Struggling with days
Fighting with nights
Another step
Down in the ground

Looking for a way
To keep myself sane
Locked in this maze
They poisoned water
Polluted air
That's what we're fed

Life on the strings
A puppet show
A prize for your sins
A padded room
No knobs, no doors
A place called home

When I look up that high
I can't see the sky
Just a layer of dirt
There's dirt in my mouth
Confined to a coffin
You can't make a move
You scream your lungs out
It's all you can do

Forced to exist
Under control
Trained and restrained
Sentenced for death
Counting the time
Wasting my life

Struggling with days
Fighting with nights
Another step
Down in the ground
