Death Row

Sometimes I wonder, were things supposed to be this way
What would life have been like if I never went away

Last night I dreamed that I woke up in my own bed
My son and my wife, an entire life we led
I woke up still in prison, writhing on my cot in my cell
Maybe I belong here inside of my personal hell

Deep down I know there's no happy ending for me
I was destined for darkness, and that's how it will always be
Maybe I made my choices. Maybe I was born like this
Either way, tonight I go into that dark abyss

People talk about my story and how it all went wrong
That's all I got left now, that story and this song
I don't want your pity, surely don't deserve your love
Either way, it's over - this'll have to be enough

Now you know my story, as much as I can tell
Warden's come to take me for my final farewell
My sorrow drifts through the ether, my spirit fades away
Flip a switch, close my eyes and lifeless there I lay
