A Criminal Mind

You see my hands are steady
You've seen my face before
Soon you can take your last look
And they'll close the door

I stand accused before you
I have no tears to cry
And you will never break me
Till the day I die

A criminal mind
Is all I've ever known
They tried to reform me
But I'm made of cold stone

A criminal mind
Is all I've ever had
Ask one who's known me
If I'm really so bad...
I am

I've spent my life behind these steel bars
I've paid my debt in time
But being brought to justice
That was my only crime

I don't regret a single action
I'd do the same again
These prison walls secure me
And I'm numb to pain

A criminal mind
Is all I've ever had
Ask one who's known me
If I'm really so bad...
I am

Before you hand me over
Before you read my sentence
I'd like to say a few words
Here in my own defense...

Some people struggle daily
They struggle with their conscience
Till the end
I have no guilt to haunt me
I feel no wrong intent

A criminal mind
Is all I've ever had
Ask one who's known me
If I'm really so bad...
I am

I'm made of cold stone
Just like your prison walls
A criminal mind
I am
