Lyrics The Green Mile - Emergency Gate

The Green Mile

I’ve been down just for a while
Close my eyes and I am far away
So far away from myself
Take a breath and realize
I’m too weak and hiding far away
Far away behind my mask
Am I forsaken?
Am I a coward?
Am I a laughter?
All I ever wanted is no more pain
Just a little more brave
Oh, blame, let me be the one…
Have you ever known what it’s like to be?
To bury all mistakes and prejudices
And when I exceed the line
I admit I’ve lost control
No amnesty for daunting and frightening you again
Reprieve me before I’m adjudged
And save me before I fall
I know I’m lost
Don’t judge me by my masquerade
Have you ever known what it’s like to be?
To bury all mistakes and f*ck you
In this time of need you’re gone
It can’t rain all the time
I’ll have to stay
I’ll have to die
That I am sure
I have no illusions of immortality
I will await my death
Long before death finds me
I can’t recall anything from yester-night
Just a broken bottle right beside my empty bed
My forsaken life is just a broken hell
Insanity is hard to tell
And when I exceed the line
I admit I’ve lost control
No amnesty for daunting and frightening you once again
We each owe a death
There are no exceptions
But sometimes the green mile seems so long
