Criminal - Jesse Caine

I have a criminal need,
I have a criminal desire,
Did you call me a cheat?
Did you call me a liar?
I’ve a criminal mind to have words with you.
How would you feel, to be a criminal too?

I had me a notion,
To give to you.
After all I’d done,
And put you through,
I went on my knee,
Looked up to you,
Is that the kind of thing a criminal would do?

You put me in chains, and gave up the key,
To the lady in black, that couldn’t see me,
Would you do it again?
Would you do it for free?
Would you do it to you,
If you were me?

I have a criminal need,
I have a criminal desire,
Thrown to the lions, thrown to the fire.
I’ve a criminal need to have words with you.
How would you feel, to be a criminal too?

I went alone,
and then went with her
She had to wait, knowing my desire.
She was my friend,
But even she tired,
Of my criminal need, my criminal desire.

I can’t wipe the tears,
But I can wipe this floor,
I can’t change the rules,
They caught me for,
They forced down,
Those faces three
Their minds made up,
They branded me.

And so I am,
What they decreed,
It’s seeped right into,
The very core of me,
I’m a criminal above,
And a criminal beneath.
But my love for you,
Remains forever free.

I have a criminal need,I have a criminal desire,
To be freed by you, and this trial by fire.
What can I even do, Can i even get through,
This criminal wall, put up by you.
