These Hands
by Fades Away

Album: Perceptions

Looking at the sun
For the last time as a free man
With cuffs around his hands
He walks through the lonely doors
Razor-wire army stand guard against escape
While the fences and the concrete
Cling boldly to the floor
When the cell door closes
All he can think of is
"What was I thinking?"
When reality sinks in
He buries his face in his hands
No matter what those hands have done
They're no different than my own
These hands (these hands)
These hands will all plead guilty in the end
Terrified and lonely beyond imagination
He slips into a daydream he knows he's had before
Bright hallucinations run rampant through a mind
That's been beaten down and broken by a world that is no more
When the clock tower bellows
All of the memories are
Ripped into pieces
When reality sinks in
He buries his face in his hands
No matter what those hands have done
They're no different than my own
These hands (these hands)
These hands will all plead guilty in the end
Something's wrong here
Why should anyone choose death
To save a lying thief like me?
Show who you are, Sound the alarm, *
This is something we've seen before
No matter what those hands have done
They're no different than my own
These hands (these hands)
These hands will all plead guilty in the end
We'll all plead guilty
