Would Not Be Denied

Would not be released Could not be denied I tried to say the words But got tripped up inside You can murder them with guns Poison them with lye You can take a person's life But you can't squelch his pride This city's not my own This world is not my home But I'll carry it on my back As far as my feet will roam I opened up my eyes I offered up my coat I opened up my mouth But knots tied in my throat And I will not be denied Will not be denied If not for innocence My guilt would stop right here Reliving all my life In the span of just one year My mouth's a hurricane But something inside just died I'd always just assumed My evil would subside Could I have been misled Could you have misread Please don't punish me For things I have not said The last's a lonely mile I'll remember it for a while You'll never speak to me Unless it's to revile But I will not be denied Will not be denied Will not be denied Will not be denied Denied Denied
