"Criminal" Lyrics

"nothing is clear and I feel like I'm set up to lose.
is there direction or am I just easily confused?
people may say that there's a bright road that i'm going down
but the beaten path is the only road that I have found,

and the voices come to me at night
it's got gotta got to be criminal,
its got gotta got to be gotta be,
its got gotta got to be criminal
to hate the life that you have come to know.
its got gotta got to be criminal
its got gotta got to be gotta be

and i'm not taking things for granted i'm taking a stance.
things could end tomorrow so i can't pass up this last chance.
focus a picture that's so blurred i can't make out a face
i'll never lose sight of all the things that i can't replace.

and the voices come to me at night
it's got gotta got to be criminal,
its got gotta got to be gotta be,
its got gotta got to be criminal
to hate the life that you have come to know.
its got gotta got to be criminal
its got gotta got to be gotta be

sometimes i beat myself to death with these stupid thoughts.
will i be six feet deep to pay the cost?
now I feel like I can bare the weight
and make things right,
and now I can beat myself in my fight.

it's got gotta got to be criminal,
its got gotta got to be gotta be,
its got gotta got to be criminal
to hate the life that you have come to know.
its got gotta got to be criminal
its got gotta got to be gotta be
its got gotta got to be criminal
to hate the life that you have come to know.
criminal...criminal...
