Remember Sammy Jankins

He said my name before hea fell
His laughter rang like a broken bell
I took his life to keep the lie
But truth just watched and passed me by

The photograph fades, the ink runs thin
I can't recall where I've been
Justice feels like something sold
A story written, retold, and cold

Maybe I'm Sammy, maybe I lied
To keep the pain, I can't confide
If truth's a dream, then let me sleep
In memories, I failed to keep
