Innocence Was Here - Annisokay

Another lonely name etched in the stone

On a wall, in a cell, with a prisoner’s bone

As the night drags its fingers over our eyes

So too do my fingers trace these outlines

Lights out, lights out

And the concrete slowly works its way into a man’s heart

Real world rules, no missing evidence

Real world rules, no prison break

Real world rules, no tunnels to freedom

Innocence was here, innocence was here

Someone else’s fail has cost your life

What happens now when the doors have slammed shut?

Lights out, lights out till we think only with barbed wire brain cells

And dream only of some long-ago life

Lights out, lights out as the screamers begin their lament

In voices long shredded with fear and regret

And the natural born killers

Rest peaceful in their violent sleep

Real world rules, no missing evidence

Real world rules, no prison break

Real world rules, no tunnels to freedom

Innocence was here, innocence was here

And when somebody else’s fingers have traced

The initials I’ve carved, carved into the stone

There was no prison break, there was no escape

Someone else’s mistake

There was no prison break, there was no escape

I was innocent all along

Real world rules, no missing evidence

Real world rules, no prison break

Real world rules, no tunnels to freedom

Innocence was here, innocence was here

No missing evidence

No prison break

No tunnels to freedom

Innocence was here, innocence was here
