Black Wing - Death Sentences lyrics

I've got nothing to say to you, anyway
That my heart won't say to you any day
Like "Stop, like, stop, just stop, like"
Like "Stop, like, stop, just stop, like"

I forget everything, but you remember it all

I've been having a hard time, drawing along
The curve of your spine, the tilt of your hip
Grit my teeth along the lines of your lips
Carrying on as they carry me out

I can't relate to anyone

"It is not uncommon for death row inmates to
Maintain their innocence by the time they
Get into the death chamber and it's apparent
That the execution is going to take place
Usually something happens and they may not
Come right out and say 'I
Did it' you know, "Warden, would you
Tell the victim’s family I’m sorry
Would you tell my Momma I'm sorry
Something that says ‘I did this’
Edward didn’t do that so I
Leaned down and whispered in
His ear i thought maybe I could reach him
Because I really wanted to make sure that he
Was at peace with his god and himself

I said Edward it’s not important for
You to confess to this crime
It’s not important that anybody here in
This room hears the truth
The only thing that’s important is that you
Let your maker, your God, know the truth
And you be at peace with him, and
He looked at me and very calmly said
'Warden, I’m at peace with my god
How are you going to be with yours?'"
