Lyrics:
In one or two years I get used to the room
Started slow when I first made the move
Routine is strange on the row
Most of my neighbors are just out of control
And it's bad that I see
Closer now then I will ever be.
I've got plenty of plans that never will be fulfilled
Do they regret their decision to kill?
Placed behind bars, but only for a few
Any last prayers, while I kneel at the pew?
Don't be scared, there's no way out
I deserved this sentence
They'll get even as I get tense
I will fall asleep, lie down and those who see won't weep, they'll only know me in their deepest darkest dreams.
