I can't deny reality as lite gets smothered

If the lines can be read between

Maybe you can tell me then what it all means

Cause he who paints the big picture runs the whole scene

Locked down, I gotta get it out

Impending doom, a cloud above my head

Why me? My faith has been devout

Blasphemous? Am I better off dead?

Punishment, for all my sins

A burning thought inside my mind

Has me full of pity for all of human kind

As we move forth, we fall further behind

Fear of death, will my life go on?

Controlled fate? On the corner rolling dice

Punishment, but I've done nothing wrong

In my eyes, who really pays the price

My lament, for the human race

Guilty, punishment for all my sins

Dread the day that brings the truth

Punishment for what I've done

Sentence me for all my sins

Bound in fear for what I've got

Though not much it seems a lot

Life is death and no one wins

Bustin' my ass, another day another dollar, as I kneel down and I

confess to the father that I'm suffering a burning question of

the truth, whether or not to pull the trigger or to jump right

off the roof, 'cause I did things normal and just like all my friends

but now I'm positive and life it all ends

Punishment, for all my sins, I repent

In reality, we all must face the fact that the majority

of the people are out there smoking crack, getting doped up

shooting that shit into their veins, the question must be asked if

we have any brains left, or right or wrong in this song, a

question we all ask and must answer before long, 'cause no one

is safe in this world, what's the deal, the sentence is death and to

what court do I appeal?

Punishment, for all my sins, I repent

Punishment
