Law-Abiding Citizen Songtext
von Southeast Engine

My wife and I met in school
We studied geography
We traveled everywhere together
It was always her and me
And in the moment that we met
I could feel the ground move
We were married within the year
Movin′ as fast as we could


I found work as a cartographer
Makin' maps of the ocean′s floor
But I'd sell to the government
To find oil offshore
And I always wanted to get ahead
And get ahead I did
We prayed for a fortune
And our prayers were answered

So I've always slept at night
Undisturbed, it seems
Never in my life ′til now
Have I recalled my dreams
Yeah, I′ve kept up with my work
And with my family
But somewhere along the way
My life got ahead of me


Hey, I've had to make my way
Hey, I′ve had to fight
For this life I live
For this sky so bright
But now my dreams are haunted
By her pale face in the night
I could not bring myself to bring
The dark into the light
