Lyrics

VERSE 1
I remember when I was right
I remember when you were wrong
And your iniquity in my eyes
It gets unbearable some times
So I bite my tongue

CHORUS
And I commit murder in my mind
And I commit murder in my heart
And there is no wound I can feel
There is no tear I can cry

VERSE 2
A mark upon me I can't explain
You are Abel my name is Cain
It's so inglorious this life
Without a standard or tribe
There is no use in restraint

CHORUS
I committed murder in my life
I committed murder in my time
There is no wound I can feel
There is no tear I can cry
