These are Murdering Hands

No one ever seems to know

That these are mudering hands

And while I hide my blackened soul

I long to loose these bands

Loose the ties that keep me bound

Until I break and am free

Who are you to judge myself

When I am judge and jury

These hands have touched a lover's heart

Have heard that final damning bell

Have shed the blood that drowns this city

Drowning Gotham a living hell

You sit and sentence me with your eyes

Condemn me to a life in Freud's bed

And yet still you bring me out and wonder

Exactly why do I like my soul stained red?

Well here I am Gotham your princely clown

And the lesson here is simple

I want you to sit awhile and hold my hands

I promise I'll be gentle
