Prime Suspect's Lament

Lyrics

[Verse]
I invaded the nine colonies and caused quite the scene
Twelve felonies later I was nowhere to be seen
Hiding with Vietnamese in jungles so green
Nine years of shadows living like a ghostly dream

[Verse 2]
A prime minister poisoned suspicion's all around
Caught in the crossfire my name makes that sound
The truth gets twisted whispers in the crowd
I'm sending out apologies just trying to be found

[Chorus]
Oh I'm a prime suspect in the poisoner's plot
A life on the run's not the life that I sought
Seeking redemption for the chaos I've wrought
Strumming my sorrow it's all that I've got

[Bridge]
I never wanted these chains of deceit
In hiding I've found no solace or peace
My heart's heavy with the guilt that I greet
Wishing for freedom but it's just out of reach

[Chorus]
Oh I'm a prime suspect in the poisoner's plot
A life on the run's not the life that I sought
Seeking redemption for the chaos I've wrought
Strumming my sorrow it's all that I've got

[Outro]
With every string I pluck confessing my shame
Underneath these stars I whisper your name
Hoping the winds will carry away my blame
For a prime suspect seeks to change the game
