a sullen masquerade
Amends you never made
You’re only skin and teeth
To take the war to bed
have mercy on the dead
and spare you the sight of me
but it sounds the same to me
Once around in your second coming
Words alone are indoctrinating
You were ripened for the picking
a glisten from your eye
shattered worlds across the interstate
(oh no)
You were appalled and found it sickening
what they did to you
I never wanted it to end like this
(oh no)
What did you have to prove
with the phases of the moon
where no shadow will be safe again?
It’s the essence of the world
the mark of masculinity
feigning illness for the medicine
on your day of rest
Bathed in the blood
they left you undone
they bathed in the blood of your purifying
and left you undone
