Punishment

I question not me, it only happens to others I can't deny reality as life gets smothered
If the lines can be read between maybe you can tell me then what it all means
Because he who paints the big picture runs the whole scene
Locked down, I gotta get it out impending doom, a cloud above my head
Why me? My faith has been devout blasphemous? Am I better off dead?
Punishment, for all my sins

A burning thought inside my mind has me full of pity for all of humankind
As we move forth, we fall further behind
Fear of death, will my life go on controlled fate on the corner rolling dice
Punishment, but I've done nothing wrong in my eyes, who really pays the price
My lament, for the human race guilty, punishment for all my sins

Dread the day that brings the truth punishment for what I've done
Sentence me for all my sins bound in fear for what I've got
Though not much it seems a lot life is death and no one wins
Busting my ass, another day another dollar as I kneel down and I confess to the father 
That I'm suffering a burning question of the truth, whether or not to pull the trigger 
Or to jump right off the roof because I did things normal and just like all my friends 
But now I'm positive and life it all ends punishment, for all my sins, I repent
In reality, we all must face the fact that the majority of the people are out there smoking crack 
Getting doped up shooting that shit into their veins, the question must be asked if we have any brains left, or right or wrong in this song a question we all ask and must answer before long 
Because no one is safe in this world, what's the deal,
The sentence is death and to what court do I appeal?
Punishment, for all my sins, I repent punishment
