[Intro] Flipping papers and the sound they're making A dead courtroom Where words are suffocating And telling the truth is suffocation [Verse 1] Bleeding on the doorstep And you just stood there Swear I saw my life flash How'd you make it past the fence Though I locked the gate I don't know what to expect It seems too far the closer I get I think it's not for me 'Cause it demands more than I had That's the only reason I could think of The only one It's true… but sad I'm not crashing out I'm not mad [Verse 2] It looked so evident But I can't press charges 'Cause I lack evidence I'm not relevant 'Cause if I were I wouldn't be fighting for relevance They said it's menacing But what can I do When pain and disappointment Taste this succulent? Naivety or innocence? I talk in cuts and scars No — I embody them Does that make me the embodiment? Yeah I know I'm taking it Out of proportion Just to express the sentiment [Chorus] I don't have it in me To keep on fighting I admit it [Verse 3] I wanna thank the judges For allowing me to plead my case I wanna ask the jury Do you find me guilty? And if you do, I hope They consider mercy Can't they tell that I'm innocent When they were listening? Didn't want to harm anyone When I went missing Why would they rule the witness a liar? Why didn't they permit me a defense? The verdict said "too good with words" Must be a witch — cover her mouth On the stake and to the fire [Bridge] I should've known better Gathered my pennies and hired a lawyer How would I know truth can be auctioned And sold to the highest bidder? It sounds too personal But trust me, it's bigger We can hide it behind stress and liquor Honestly I'd do the same And now I understand the ideology Behind snobs and theft I won't blame Elizabeth When she left [Final Chorus] I don't have it in me To keep on fighting I admit it [Outro] Leaving the courtroom Dragged in the hallway And a passing jury said "You would've had a better chance at recess If you spoke less" Still a chance is a chance Kneel… plead guilty It's never too late to confess
