Objectify the truth
Just to find a contradiction
Rejecting what is real
In jest, defying old traditions
Sentenced to the noose
Injustice is my execution
Ingest the final meal
Just deserts, the fate that I deserve

As I stand here waiting for the tone
Cast away my last chance to atone
Counting down the church bells as they toll
I conjure up my final words

The only ears that hear me are my own
The only voice that tells me what I've known
The only eyes that recognize my world
The only mind that realizes

As I sit upon this oaken throne
Place my head beneath the metal crown
Flip the switch and drown away my thoughts
Erase these memories of the past

As I wander endless through the void
Recollecting pieces of my mind
Every fragment feeds the fire inside
Inspired I begin to write

As I read between these missing lines
Form a message from the hidden signs
Gradually I start to reenlight
Remembering the reason why

As I wake to find my faith restored
Take these chains and break them from the walls
Lift my hands I rise above the world
Shouting down to those below

The only grasp on life I have a hold
The only things I can control
The only reason that makes sense at all
The only time worth living is mine

As I choose to walk this path alone
Leave the past beneath my shadow
Every step comes closer to my return
On the road to rebecoming whole

I rectify the truth
Just to find a confirmation
Detecting false from real
Just in time for a revolution
Pardoned from the noose
Justified, my crimes excused
Testify, appealed
Justice served, the freedom that I've earned
