I never wanted people to see it

Yes 
Yes 
I never wanted people to see it

Sometimes a terrible actor breaks your back 
Has more than you will ever have 

The thought of letting a grenade gutter their face,its... 

I'll let you say it(the thought)

We all cross the prison as a sheriff and a lifer and wait on the greatest both and worst things to make it to every 

Single breath and life 

Then theres the epiphany and I said let them see it have no effect 

I have model citizens in my granted wreaths and let them kneel to those who never realized who they were 

I'll let you say it

Where did amnesty let go of us as its too clear that it didn't hold on to anything 

Yes
