fast track

I got locked up for some really bad shit I did...

yet, with the years passing I was beginning to adjust

life in prison with no parole is a hard pill to swallow

but I swallowed it

then, newly resigned to my fate

my celly told me to swallow it

but I refused

so he grabbed me by the throat

and slammed me up against the back of the cell

so I fought back

and I fought hard

I saw a demon that night possess a man I knew all to well

when your doing a life sentence

you can't be someones bitch

so I fought back

and I fought hard

I killed a demon that night and regret the man who went with

but now justice has to flex its weight

so it weighed in

and I was weighed out

I killed a demon in self defense and now they say I must die too

because self defense doesn't exist on this side of those gray prison walls

at least not for us condemned to life

but I was always sentenced to a death of sorts

just one that had a few more years left

yet, now I'm on the fast track

with even less time to say goodbye

with even less time to say

*note: if a prisoner is facing life for a murder charge and he kills another inmate in self defense he can receive the death penalty. even if he is defending himself against rape. burn all prisons, break all cages
