The Green Mile - Emergency Gate

I’ve been down just for a while

Close my eyes and I am far away

So far away from myself

Take a breath and realize

I’m too weak and hiding far away

Far away behind my mask

Am I forsaken?

Am I a coward?

Am I a laughter?

All I ever wanted is no more pain

Just a little more brave

Oh, blame, let me be the one…

Have you ever known what it’s like to be?

To bury all mistakes and prejudices

And when I exceed the line

I admit I’ve lost control

No amnesty for daunting and frightening you again

Reprieve me before I’m adjudged

And save me before I fall

I know I’m lost

Don’t judge me by my masquerade

Have you ever known what it’s like to be?

To bury all mistakes and f*ck you

In this time of need you’re gone

It can’t rain all the time

I’ll have to stay

I’ll have to die

That I am sure

I have no illusions of immortality

I will await my death

Long before death finds me

I can’t recall anything from yester-night

Just a broken bottle right beside my empty bed

My forsaken life is just a broken hell

Insanity is hard to tell

And when I exceed the line

I admit I’ve lost control

No amnesty for daunting and frightening you once again

We each owe a death

There are no exceptions

But sometimes the green mile seems so long
