Charlotte city… midnight train… A refugee running from war, Only to find another battlefield at the door. She’s tired, She’s just trying to get home Head against the window, Steel wheels hum their song. But the devil boards in silence, Knife tucked in his sleeve, Fourteen crimes behind him And still, they fucking let him breathe. She was riding on the rail, just trying to get home, A predator with freedom cut her down and left her cold. Fourteen times they warned you, fourteen times you fell, Now her blood’s the price… and the system shares the hell. Tell me What’s the cost of apathy? What’s the price of “not my job”? When the files stack like towers And the judges nod along. Doctors close the folders, Courts just turn the key, He’s broken and he’s dangerous But still, they fucking set him free. She was riding on the rail, just trying to get home, But a fucking butcher cut her down and left her cold. Fourteen times the warning, fourteen times you failed, Now her blood’s the price… and the system shares the hell. “I only wanted peace, I only wanted rest. I left behind the bombs, I dreamed of something less. The train should have been safe, A place to close my eyes… But darkness had been waiting, Disguised in human guise. If anyone can hear me, Please carry out my name, Don’t let me fade to silence, Don’t let me die in vain.” Justice? Fuck! Justice is blind, yeah But you know, she’s deaf and dumb as well. Justice signs the papers, Then escorts the wolves from jail. You call it “due process,” I call it neglect, You call it “treatment,” I call it no respect. He needed help, you turned away, He hurt and hurt and hurt again, And every scar was just a prophecy That someone else would pay. And she paid…SHE PAID! “I only wanted peace…I only wanted rest…Don’t let me fade to silence…Don’t let me die in vain…” How many warnings? Fourteen. How many chances? Fourteen. How many failures? Fourteen. How many graves until you see? She was riding on the rail, just trying to get home, But a monster and the system made the train a catacomb. Fourteen times you failed us, fourteen times he fell Now we bury her… and we damn you all as well. “I only wanted peace…I only wanted rest…Don’t let me fade to silence…Don’t let me die in vain…” You fucking failed!...you all fucking failed!!
