Lyrics:

Mental disorder

Psychiatric disease

Violent compulsions

They’re all part of me

It’s easy to judge this

Accuse, disagree

You all turn your back when

You should have helped me

They say it’s in my brain

My way, my destiny

Written in my blood

My flesh and my dreams

The truth is I grew up

Emotionally abused

Tearing my soul down

All thanks to you

Maybe there was another way

But I took their lives because

[you made me do it]

Zero remorses

Lack of empathy

Memory lapses

Delusions of control

You thought I was harmless

The neighbor next door

While in my basement

I’m hiding your corpse

I’m sorry but it’s late

To redeem me from my sins

There is no good, There is no bad

We live right in between

I really wish that I was dead

But I can’t kill myself

So it doesn’t really matter

if you cannot understand

Maybe I deserve to pay

But it doesn’t feel right cause

[you made me do it]

"Your Honor,

It is over now. This has never been a case of trying to get free. I didn’t ever want freedom. Frankly, I wanted death for myself. This was a case to tell the world that I did what I did, but not for reasons of hate. I hated no one. I knew I was sick or evil or both. Now I believe I was sick. The doctors have told me about my sickness, and now I have some peace.

I know how much harm I have caused. I tried to do the best I could after the arrest to make amends, but no matter what I did I could not undo the terrible harm I have caused. I feel so bad for what I did to those poor families, and I understand their rightful hate.

I decided to go through this trial for a number of reasons. One of the reasons was to let the world know these were not hate crimes. I wanted the world and Milwaukee, which I deeply hurt, to know the truth of what I did. I didn’t want unanswered questions. All the questions have now been answered. I wanted to find out just what it was that caused me to be so bad and evil. But most of all, Mr. Boyle and I decided that maybe there was a way for us to tell the world that if there are people out there with these disorders, maybe they can get help before they end up being hurt or hurting someone. I think the trial did that."
