I question not me, it only happens to others   I can't deny reality as lite gets smothered      If the lines can be read between   Maybe you can tell me then what it all means   'Cause 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 human kind   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 fucking 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      Bustin' 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   'Cause 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   'Cause 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      Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee
