Scott Stapp - Criminal

Yes, this is the STUDIO VERSION of the long-awaited song.

This is the newly released song from Scott Stapp's second upcoming solo album which is currently untitled. According to this blog ( http://scottstapp.wordpress.com/ ), this song and one other did not make the cut, thus they are now B-Sides that he released for his fans. It's a great song, so listen AND SPREAD THE WORD!

CRIMINAL LYRICS:

I listen alone all night
I listen for what ceilings no way out
No windows to allow a sound or light
To feed my mind
Slowly I bury myself alive... (alive)

I'm so sorry, so sorry I opened that door
I'm just searching
I am searching for reasons why...
I hear knocking, knocking on doors I have closed

The man you're describing has got to be make believe
No you're not insane, no no
Yes it was me
Why can't you see me for what I've become
Not who I use to be

I'm no Criminal...

Mind, blind, stuck in rewind
Look the other way
Big mistakes I made
So why do I keep turning back
To see the flames
When ashes still burden my eyes
Oh the pain...

I said I'm so sorry (said I'm so sorry)...
So sorry I opened that door
I'm just searching
I am searching for reasons why...
I hear knocking, knocking on doors I have closed

The man you're describing has got to be make believe
No you're not insane, no no
Yes it was me
Why can't you see me for what I've become
Not who I use to be

I'm no Criminal, no Criminal
Not caught red handed, busted
I'm not in chains, I'm not in chains
Ohh, why can't you see me for what I've become
Not who I use to be
There's no Criminal, no Criminal
No Criminal left in me (in me... can't you see)

Widen's the gates, so many follow
Narrows the path soon will swallow
Blinded eyes can't see my way
Can you help me please...

I'm no Criminal, no Criminal
Not caught red handed, busted
I'm not in chains, I'm not in chains
Why can't you see me for what I've become
Not who I use to be
I'm no Criminal, no Criminal
No Criminal left in me

Why...
Why...
Why...
I'm no Criminal

Why...
Why...
'Cause I'm no... I'm no... no Criminal

I listen alone all night
I listen for what ceilings no way out
No windows to allow a sound or light
To feed my mind
Slowly I bury myself alive...

CREED FANS! I have some phenomenal news. Not only is his voice back in fantastic shape, but Scott Stapp announced today that Creed will be playing theaters in certain cities this APRIL 2012. They will be playing My Own Prison and Human Clay in their entirety between 2 nights. The only cities announced at the moment are Chicago, IL : Upper Darby, PA : New York, NY. THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME THING! ATTEND THIS!

im not gonna lie i love this song i was kinda afraid whether his voice would sound good bc i think it got worse but this sound like the Scott from Human clay i love this! i want this album even if thi isnt on it

Creed better come to Vancouver, Canada. I went to see them and they bailed on us. We all got refunds but I was pissed. This was back in their prime when Scotts voice was awesome.

Scott's voice sounds great!
