Why I Decided To Commit The Crime

- originally written November 1, 2006 -

So you're wondering, you want to know why I did it
You're dying to know why I decided to commit this crime
Ok, I'll go ahead and tell you, but you might want to sit
I don't think you can handle the truth, even in a rhyme

The first truth is this; I became tired of playing your game
Your world so was twisted, and I was a willing pawn
But then even you began to lose, and it all fell to flames
So I decided it was time to indulge myself before all was gone

The second truth, one that most likely never crossed you mind
And it's a sad truth, that this crime is a crime only in your eyes
The time had come for me to take reign, even if you were blind
And you should know that this isn't a crime; no, this is my prize

There is a part of me that feels guilty, but a part of me feels free
Because I know this guilt is merely another one of your mind games
I hate you for this false guilt, but I'm moving on to different seas
I'm going to be the bigger person and move past any blame

Believe what you want; I won't try to change your mentality
Though it's quite sad that you'll always be in denial about the facts
But I've made my choice and I'm done living with your reality
And now its time for me to move on and make my own tracks
