*** is ***

Burned at the stake.
Stoned on the spot.
Beaten and lied to, my head full of voices

Tears streaming down my face, begging you to stop.
But you won't hear me.
You block me out.

If I die, know it's your fault.
Believe me when I say I'd kill to be free of you.

Murder is murder
no matter who it's done to.
Are you going to make me do it?
Or is that yours too?

I'll pack today, and head out tomorrow.
Don't cling to me.
You're a burden I can't bear.
Apologize now, or face eternal sorrow.

Murder is Murder
a heavy crime, I know.
But if I don't do it now, will I have the courage later?
The answer of course, is no.

You can burn me
and stone me
and make me cry.
But killing me?
That will be mine.
