execution day

heart racing, breath collapsing,
tears gathering in my eyes
-- I'm so afraid of tomorrow

tomorrow
the great people of my country will decide
through the voice of 200
on my sanity

the great people of my country will decide
through the voice of 200
on my freedom of choice

the great people of my country will decide
through the voice of 200
on my destiny

will they turn back the clock?
will they rip out my hopes
and stomp them to the ground?
will they make the gift of life go to waste?

is that what I deserve?

I remember a few years back they said
that allowing me to marry
was a mere step away from people marrying pigs
(this was televised)

was that what I deserve?

now they are saying
that allowing me to have children
is condemning the unborn-ones to lifelong misery
(this is televised)

is that what we deserve?

tomorrow
execution within office hours

I'm sitting here in my beautiful home,
our home,
that's turning to a prison cell

wrenching my hands
waiting for a pardon

all hail the 200!
