Heavens, I'm sorry for your loss
A life cut short, it's such a tragic plot
Oh, your poor daughter
We'll keep her in our thoughts
But what a disgrace, we're mourning while her killer freely walks
Jury's out, they cry for retribution
Voices shout, "Her blood is on your hands"
As if I'm not the one that has to live with
Red under nails that won't wash out no matter how it ends
'Pon the boundary of loss and dream
Irony put to sleep, so set the scene
It's her or me, who's it gonna be?
To lead a lie or watch your daughter die
I forced the issue, what a waste of time
It's wrong, it's right, and, god, I'm so alive
So leave her behind, it's an eye for an eye
Lethal injection, guillotine, electric chair
It'd all be so simple, oh, if only I weren't there
I'll slip the noose they tie
The fell boy's guilty as tried
"Her life for mine"
Gracious, the charges pile up
A guilty conscious, case open and shut
But wait, Your Honor, it's such a noble 'cause
It's not like the victim's here to see your jaded justice done
Did you know her? Her dreams? Her aspirations?
One single sentence, address the rest
So tell me how you knew her, embellish your relation
Pain that you feign for a stranger 'cause you'd rather see me gone
Don't look away from the boy whose smile sparks a flame
Reclaimed, a crying shame that you don't feel the same
'Pon the boundary of sight unseen
Irony lives and breathes
In rest, in grief
It's her or me, baby, who's it gonna be?
To lead a lie or watch your daughter die
I forced the issue, what a waste of time
It's wrong, it's right, and, god, I'm so alive
So leave her behind, it's an eye for an eye
Cooked in a cauldron, drawn and quartered, firing squad
It'd all be so simple, oh, if only I were gone
I'll slip the noose they tie
The fell boy's guilty as tried
"Her life for mine"
Did you know her?
Did you know that heavy heart?
Did you know her?
A fragile ego adorned in scars
Did you know her?
Did you know the nights spent crying in a voice drawn low?
Did you know her?
If you knew, you'd know I had to let her go
To lead a lie or watch your daughter die
As if the choice could end with me alive
It's wrong, it's right, but, god, if only I
Could give up a life I can hardly call mine
Ring of the knell, the eulogy, the loss of heir
It'd all be so simple, oh, if only I weren't there
I'd give it one last try, if I could leave it behind for the renegade life
To lead a lie or watch your daughter die
I forced the issue, what a waste of time
It's wrong, it's right, and, god, I'm so alive
So leave her behind, it's an eye for an eye
Lethal injection, guillotine, electric chair
It'd all be so simple, oh, if only I weren't there
I'll slip the noose they tie
The fell boy's guilty as tried
"Her life for mine"
An ego set alight
A stray boy, justified
This life is mine
