Damien Echols Death Row Letter, Year 16 1/2 - Johnny Depp/Nick Cave/Warren Ellis[00:00:00]

Written by：Nick Cave/Warren Ellis/Jake Jackson[00:00:00]

Today[00:00:00]

The guards made me bleed again[00:00:02]

They chained my feet[00:00:07]

So tight[00:00:09]

I could barely move[00:00:12]

I bleed through my socks[00:00:17]

Last month it was my left ankle[00:00:22]

Today it was the right[00:00:26]

When I wash[00:00:32]

The soap burns like fire[00:00:34]

But I have to keep my ankles clean[00:00:40]

Because I don't have any alcohol[00:00:44]

Or peroxide[00:00:46]

Nothing to kill the bacteria or infections[00:00:49]

And this place is filthy[00:00:55]

I can't remember[00:01:02]

What it's like[00:01:04]

To walk as a[00:01:09]

Human being anymore[00:01:10]

My cell is so small[00:01:14]

That I can only take[00:01:18]

Two steps[00:01:19]

Anytime I'm brought out[00:01:24]

However briefly or infrequently[00:01:27]

I have chains on my hands and feet[00:01:31]

As well as guards hanging on me[00:01:36]

Been well over 16 years since I've actually walked anywhere[00:01:41]

Sometimes I still can't wrap my mind around that[00:01:49]

I'm working on my 17th year now[00:01:56]

There were times when I thought[00:02:02]

Surely[00:02:04]

Someone's gonna put a stop to this[00:02:07]

Surely someone[00:02:11]

Is gonna do something[00:02:13]

But they never do[00:02:19]

Time just rolls on[00:02:23]

It's insanity[00:02:27]

I am truly amazed[00:02:31]

At what they've been allowed to[00:02:34]

Get away with[00:02:35]

And for how long[00:02:38]

Ah well[00:02:46]

Does no good to dwell on it[00:02:48]

Either I waste my energy by focusing on things I[00:02:53]

Cannot change[00:02:55]

Or I conserve my energy[00:02:58]

And apply it to small[00:03:01]

Things I can change[00:03:01]

That's what the I ching calls[00:03:07]

The taming power[00:03:11]

Of the small[00:03:14]
