[Verse 1]
It claws on his back, it will never let him be
Stares at the walls until the cinder blocks can breathe
His eyes have gone away, escaping over time
He rules a crowded nation inside his mind
[Verse 2]
He knows that night like his hand
He knows every move he made
Late shift, the bell that rang, the time card won't fade
10:05 his truck pulled home, 10:05 he climbed his stair
About the time he was accused of being there
[Chorus]
But I'm not the man
He goes free
As I wait on the row
For the man to test the rope
He'll slip around my throat
And silence me
[Verse 3]
Oh, on the day he was tried no witness testified
Nothing but evidence, not hard to falsify
His own confession was a prosecutor's prize
Made up of fear, of rage and of outright lies
It claws on his back, it will never let him be
Stares at the walls until the cinder blocks can breathe
His eyes have gone away, escaping over time
He rules a crowded nation inside his mind
[Verse 2]
He knows that night like his hand
He knows every move he made
Late shift, the bell that rang, the time card won't fade
10:05 his truck pulled home, 10:05 he climbed his stair
About the time he was accused of being there
[Chorus]
But I'm not the man
He goes free
As I wait on the row
For the man to test the rope
He'll slip around my throat
And silence me
[Verse 3]
Oh, on the day he was tried no witness testified
Nothing but evidence, not hard to falsify
His own confession was a prosecutor's prize
Made up of fear, of rage and of outright lies
