Lyrics:
Counting the days in a 5 by 8 room
There's so much that I haven't done
Waiting alone for my bringer of doom
And I've got nowhere to run
Maybe I'm only dreaming
Wish I could wake up
The clock keeps ticking closer to my dying day
Now it won't be long until they take me away
Praying for the Governor to give me a stay
Watchin' every second as it's sliping away
Letters I've written but nobody cares
What is a guilty life worth
They say that killing a killer is fair
Their justice has to be served
Here in my worst true nightmare
Wish I could wake up
The clock keeps ticking marching on with nothing to say
Now it won't be long until my dying day
Praying for the Governor to give me a stay
Watchin' every second as it's slipping away
