A Criminal Mind [StyxWorld Live 2001]

You see my hands are steady

You've seen my face before

Soon you can take your last look

And they'll close the door

I stand accused before you

I have no tears to cry

And you will never break me

Till the day I die

A criminal mind is all I

All I've ever known

They tried to reform me

But I'm made of cold stone

My criminal mind is all I

All I've ever had

Ask one who's known me

If I'm really so bad

I am

I've spent my life behind these steel bars

I've paid my debt in time

But being brought to justice

That was my only crime

I don't regret a single action

I'd do the same again

These prison walls secure me

And I'm numb to pain

A criminal mind is all I

All I've ever known

They tried to reform me

But I'm made of cold stone

My criminal mind is all I

All I've ever had

Ask one who's known me

If I'm really so bad

I am

Before you hand me over

Before you read my sentence

I'd like to say a few words

Here in my own defense

Some people struggle daily

They struggle with their conscience till the end

I have no guilt to haunt me

I feel no wrong intent

A criminal mind is all I

All I've ever known

Don't try to reform me

'Cause I'm made of cold stone

My criminal mind is all I

All I've ever had

Ask one who's known me

If I'm really so bad

I am

Oh, I am

Oh, I am

I'm made of cold stone

Made of cold stone

I'm just like these prison walls

A criminal mind

Oh

Made of cold stone

I'm made of cold stone

I'm just like your prison walls

I'm made of cold stone

I got a criminal mind

I am

A criminal mind

A criminal mind

Just like your prison walls
