lyrics

CONVICT ME
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012

They're catching up
Sliding down the stairs and screaming through the halls
I hear the cries overhead, shots raining down from above

"Stop! Police!"
The loot heavy in my hands, and my heart thudding in my ribcage
Struggling to find direction in these sad days

"Please put your hands against the wall!
Let's see your hands now; put them up against the wall!"

CHORUS:
Since when is it a crime to take from those who kill?
Stealing food for my family so they don't take ill
Is that enough to convict me?
Is that really enough to convict me?

It's coming out
Blood pouring from my veins as the racing bullet pierces the flesh
Pushing myself, though I know I don't have much left

"Please lay your body on the ground!
Let's see you lay down, lay your body down on the ground!"

CHORUS

The headline tomorrow ill read:
"Another Criminal Dead In the Street"

CHORUS x 2
