I’ve lost track of time. I’m worn from the grind

My body bruised and beaten with my soul not far behind

But for every bruise and bandage I take home at the end of the night

I sleep a little easier, ‘cause I know their bones won’t settle right

The nights are long, the hours are rough

When the light of morning breaks it’s not enough

Will this ever be enough?

Can you fix the cracks of a broken system?

All my work reversed in the weeks to come

There must be a way

I've seen it's true face and it's staring back at me

Standing atop the tower, knowing all the while

There's nothing I can do

A simple suggestion for a permanent solution

Without a cage to be broken

Where no words can be spoken by silver tongues

Cashing in on the judgement

Every second attempt is a misdirect

The fault is mine to hold

The weight of my conscience gets heavier

The mantle takes it's toll

Tonight will be different

Tonight, things will change

Another repeat offender back on the stage

This vagrant, this filth

Convicted of murder

Who scraped his way back to the street

Will soon know what it means when I say

"Tomorrow won’t be another day."

I will save them

Whatever the cost

I will save them
