Death or Jail

It was the usual crowd growing up All good, all bad, all ugly They were like brothers 'cause we all felt the same The future tore them away Born with our senses keen, hope and fear With a sense of danger and demise The world will numb everything, hope and fear A negative discipline, a vacuum What evil force dragged them down? What demon singled them out? What evil took them away? Allowing only two choices So tell me Was there a secret never shared with others? Was there a hidden trauma? What made the bonds break? What caused the mistakes? Why was the criminal life so desired? Born with our senses keen, hope and fear With a sense of danger and demise The world will numb everything, hope and fear A negative discipline, a vacuum From afar, bleak reports trickle in But the world has spread apart, the world has spread apart All the promise that was held now is wasted The soul is delicate, the walls have crippled it From afar, troubled lives lose their purpose The world has given up, the world has given up The world has finally forsaken its sons What evil force dragged them down? What demon singled them out? What evil took them away? Allowing only the choice between Death or jail
