Redemption (Is a Fantasy) -

I never dreamed I’d be the target of a manhunt

But then I never thought I’d do the things that I’ve done

And now I’m living on the run

I shot a man in the back with a rifle

For nothing other than the fact that I was spiteful

Of what he thought he might become

When did I lose sight?

Why am I uptight?

When I have no right to feel this way

But I’m loathing anyway

Damn these thoughts that haunt and plague me

Twist me up and suffocate me

All these lies I buy

«My innocence is gone

From all these things I’ve done

I’m way past saving now»

Now all I do is float around like some mindless

Hopeless Jellyfish, spineless and adrift

Stinging everything I come in contact with

I can already feel that noose

It’s almost as welcome as overdue

We’ve used up our last excuse

Now I’m counting on you

Torches and Pitchforks,

Fire and Brimstone

Follow me always,

What have I become?

A terrible thought

In a pitiful body

Who constantly feels

That redemption’s beyond me

Damn these thoughts that haunt and plague me

Twist me up and suffocate me

All these lies I buy

«My innocence is gone

From all these things I’ve done

I’m way past saving now»
