[rev. May 31, 2018]

I tried to find something inside you
I tried to find something inside you

I tried to find something inside you
I tried to find something inside you

You know there's something about being alone in a cell
When there's just you and your thoughts
And upstairs in an austere room they wait for you in court
And they march you in and you can see in their eyes
That they've all made up their minds
And that's when it hits you straight in the face
That you've paid for it all with your life

And the Judge looks over in a mocking tone
And he asks you how you plead
And you say 'Guilty' trying to show remorse
But your tactics won't succeed
The blood on your hands is so thick and fresh
And everything's been said
And you're back in your cell and a voice from hell
Tells you that you're already dead

You're already dead
Already dead
Already dead
You're already dead

I tried to find something inside you
I tried to find something inside you

With the verdict heard and the final word
The date that you will die
And somehow you knew from the day you were born
That you were gonna fry
Then the Priest is drunk 'cause it's the only way
He'll hear your confession
Then you realize as they lead you away
This really is your final lesson

As they strap you in you notice that
The leather is quite worn
From the thousand shaking sweaty wrists
Of the killers gone before
And you piss your pants as they lower down
The helmet on your head
And as you die, there's no reason to cry
Because you knew that you were already dead

You're already dead
You're already dead
Already dead
Already dead

Aww, already dead
Already dead
Already dead
I'm already dead

I tried to find something inside you
I tried to find something inside you
I tried to find something inside you
I tried to find something inside you
