Live Once Die Twice

What rules do you abide when youre already dead inside?
My only worst fear is being forced out of this grave that I live in
Back into the life that I hide
A past that I reminisce it was always bad choices
Bad choices
Bad choices
And now it's consequences
Consequences
Consequences
Now I stand behind steel bars and barbed wire fences
Facing a five year sentence
I've been criminalized
And given a label as unstable
Theyve taken my youth and given me but a second chance at bail
As I stand before the judge he asks me "do you think this is proper justice?"
But it's kinda hard to think about that
when I'm staring at my mother through a wood and glass booth
Twelve years old cuffed and shackled, her tears hit me like bullets I'm breathless
Can hardly catch my breath to plead guilty
But what innocence do I have left?
Guilty is the verdict
Pleading otherwise would just be reckless
But never mind that my face says it all
The judge knows I'm guilty
It doesn't take 21 questions from the jury to detect this
Live once die twice
When youre already dead inside
Living is just a sacrifice
