condemnation

Finch

Condemnation, tried
Here on the stand with the book in my hand
Truth on my side
Accusations, lies
Show me my sentence I'll
Show no repentance
I'll suffer with pride

And if for honesty
You want apologies
I don't sympathize
For kindness you substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

Condemnation, why?
Because my duty was always to beauty
That was my crime
Feel elation, high
No I can't trust this fix
Of injustice time after time

If you see purity as Immaturity
Well it's no surprise
For kindness you substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
