Synonymous

I put the ear in tear so you can hear my pain
synonymous with years of nonstop rain

what appeared as sincere slandered my name
synonymous with phlebotomy, it was all in vain


an unknown flood that drowned my confidence
synonymous with being anonymous

masked, disguised, escaping the consequence
synonymous with a fugitive fleeing the continent

guilty as charged, behind bars, waitin´
synonymous with self condemnation

eyes in the law library, with the law in observation
a verdict synonymous with self vindication
