lyrics

Well you’ve been wrongfully convicted of a heinous crime.
Portrayed by the media as a criminal fucking mind.
Agonizing years spent behind metal bars.
Tortured and brutalized by inmates and guards.

The years that have elapsed you will never retrieve.
Lies told to attorneys strip away your humanity.
The truth is swayed by the pressure witnesses receive.
Locked up and spit on, but you still kept your sanity.
How are you still sane?

They took my life away from me.
The crown is aware of your innocence, despite your guilty plea.
Humiliate and pressure you against your will.
And then they want to set you free?
Expect it all just to go away?

White trash, they’re monsters, the only ones who could do such. Ain’t it obvious? Satanists, the one led a cult, but they never suspected the real monsters at fault. The police force confession, put the words in the mouth of a teen, vulnerable as an infant. The case was corrupt. Then they were thrown behind bars, down on their luck. Their hands wear the blood.

They took my life away from me.
The crown is aware of your innocence, despite your guilty plea.
Humiliate and pressure you against your will.
And then they want to set you free?
Expect it all just to go away?

They took my life away from me.
Eighteen years and 78 days.
Stolen, cheated, imprisoned.
The world has gone and moved on, changed its ways.
You expect their lives to go on the same?
