Every story carved into these crumbling walls
Starts with I was innocent
Blame my mother, blame my father
Blame my coldhearted lover
But know that I was innocent

Didn't want to steal
Didn't mean to run
Didn't pull the trigger
Didn't hide the gun

Every cry aimed at that tiny square
Of sky rings with you are guilty too
You have lied and you have lusted
You've misused and mistrusted
oh, yeah, you are guilty too

Didn't want to steal
Didn't mean to run
Didn't pull the trigger
Didn't hide the gun

Every whisper mumbled in these bad dream
Slumbers stops with please leave me be
Please don't haunt me, don't confront me
Please don't push the truth upon me
Oh no, please leave me be

Didn't want to steal
Didn't mean to run
Didn't pull the trigger
Didn't hide the gun

All I ever wanted was to save her
But I guess I lost myself
In the prison of our good intentions
The wicked warden laughs behind your back
