Looking at 14 Years.

[Verse 1]
It started with a whisper in the dark
Rumors growing teeth and leaving marks
A knock on the door, a paper in my hand
Said I’m guilty of a crime I can’t understand

I’m pacing these floors, mind running cold
Stories they spin, the lies they sold
Now my freedom’s hanging by a thread
One slip of the tongue, and I’m better off dead

[Chorus]
Looking at 14 years
Causing serious alarm, distress and fear
They paint me like a monster in their mirror
But the truth is crystal clear
I’m just looking at 14 years

[Verse 2]
They twist every word I ever spoke
Turn my laughter into a cruel joke
They point their fingers with a righteous grin
While I stand alone, wearing this skin

No one sees the panic in my eyes
No one hears my midnight cries
They build their case on shadows and smoke
And I’m chained to the words I never spoke

[Chorus]
Looking at 14 years
Causing serious alarm, distress and fear
They paint me like a monster in their mirror
But the truth is crystal clear
I’m just looking at 14 years

[Bridge]
What happened to innocent until proven wrong?
What happened to justice, to where I belong?
The gavel’s heavy, the jury’s blind
And I’m running out of borrowed time

[Chorus]
Looking at 14 years
Causing serious alarm, distress and fear
They paint me like a monster in their mirror
But the truth is crystal clear
I’m just looking at 14 years

[Outro]
So I’ll scream my truth into the void
My name, my hope they can’t destroy
I’m just a ghost they want to disappear
But I’m still here…
Looking at 14 years.
