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   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?      Pusishment, 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?   Controllled 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      Bustin' my ass, another day another dollar, as I kneel down and I   confress to the father that I'm suffering a burning question of   the truth, wether 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 son, 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
