Reasonable Doubt

I sit looking through a cage

Feel the tension and the rage

Events evolving without a reason

Just a pawn, this political season

No hope while efforts fail

Fact and fiction on my trail

I'm a scapegoat for authority

Can't stop this tale of hypocrisy

I was told the past is a reflection of the future

Life spent in vain seeking revenge

A reason to doubt

Justice abstained to the bitter end

Proof dismissed as too far out

There was a reason to doubt

But we're too busy with the words

That people spoke yet no one heard

When are we ever going to learn?

I sit trembling in the chair

I feel the hatred behind the stares

The surge electric builds and snaps my nerves

Lifeless innocence whose justice was served?

I know the truth slips through the hands of random judgement

Life spent in vain seeking revenge

A reason to doubt

Justice abstained to the bitter end

Proof dismissed as too far out

There was a reason to doubt

But we're too busy with the words

That people spoke yet no one heard

When are we ever going to learn?

Life spent in vain seeking revenge

A reason to doubt

Justice abstained to the bitter end

Proof dismissed as too far out

There was a reason to doubt

But we're too busy with the words

That people spoke yet no one heard

When are we ever going to learn?

There was a reason to doubt

It wasn't convenient

There was a reason to doubt

No one chose to believe

There was a reason to doubt

Who is deceived?

But we're too busy with the words

That people spoke yet no one heard

When are we ever going to learn?

There was a reason to doubt

Truth was the answer that didn't count

Won't someone please let me out?
