the sweetest crime

I'll stay a while till the water clears
Locked in the prison of life, long enough to feel
All the pain brought to life by intoxication
Sealed, lost, alone, where do I go from here?

I've bet on fire with no hesitations
Not knowing until when or where this will lead
No doubts with the emotions I'm feelin'
With you is where I wanna be even if I'm the other

Should I care what other people will think?
Should I be persuaded and forfeit the game
Should I keep asking for mercy and understanding?
NO!, I wont let their belief suppress my being

With the blood in my nails I run
The smell of the crime lingers, I know I should pay
But heck!!! Love gives me the right to prove and say
As I am the other,with proud I would say out loud
