I've got nothing but the rest of tonight

'Til I surrender with the morning light

They're going to throw me in a cell

And damn me to the hell I deserve

I'm gonna walk up to that sergeant's desk

And say, "It's best you put me under arrest"

Before I go and do something else that all of us are gonna regret

See, I've gone wrong for way too long

And I belong behind steel bars

The world ain't safe with me out searching

For a way to fill my empty heart

I hit a corner store on Crawford and Main

And killed a cashier in a moment of rage

There was this ketamine hooker with an attitude that drove me insane

She started screaming when I pulled out my gun

And then the cashier, well, he started to run

I swear I shot him twice before I even realized what I had done

See, I've gone wrong for way too long

And I belong behind steel bars

The world ain't safe with me out searching

For a way to fill my empty heart

I've got a conscience that won't let me be

It even follows me into my dreams

There ain't nowhere I can hide to find a little moment of peace

So I've decided that my only chance

To ever wash this blood here off of my hands

Is to confess to all I'm guilty of and pay the price for all that I am

See, I've gone wrong for way too long

And I belong behind steel bars

The world ain't safe with me out searching

For a way to fill my empty heart
