Cuff the Criminal

The moon is rising inside your veins

A death stare that wears a disguise

You’ve got no choice but to play this game

So sleep with your sword by your side

These wolves are marching both night and day

With your name carved into their eyes

And all the secrets behind their teeth

Will come back and eat you alive

But don’t you hide

My lips are tied up in silence

Inside lives a conscience divided

I thought I was in control

Thought I was invincible

Got to lock up the dark in my soul

Cuff the criminal

A thousand screams bursting from the dirt

A past I can’t bury or hide

Am I innocent in my ignorance?

Or are they both separate crimes?

I’ll do my time
