My Electric Chair

My Electric Chair

Verse

I’ve been caught in a crossfire hurricane.

Been buried by a landslide.

I’ve been living in; dying in a nightmare.

Been praying for the sun to rise.

Pre chorus

Has someone sewn my eyes shut?

Has the lid been closed for good?

Am I now six feet under?

Is that death in her black hood?

Chorus

Raise this veil of darkness.

Rescue me from despair.

Free me from the restraints

Of my electric chair.

Verse

I’ve been trapped in this place without sunlight.

Been held here against my will.

I’ve been lying here in this coffin

Without a cyanide pill.

Pre chorus

Has someone sewn my eyes shut?

Has the lid been closed for good?

Am I now six feet under?

Is that death in her black hood?

Chorus

Raise this veil of darkness.

Rescue me from despair.

Free me from the restraints

Of my electric chair.

Bridge

My conscience is a cruel master.

Tortures my soul night and day.

For some death is a savior.
