Beast of Burden
I can feel your whip
when I pull you like a mule
I beg you to strike harder
because I can hardly feel
I am a dead horse
I'll show you my naked bones
admire their beauty
and watch my body rot
I stood in the water
tried to wash away my sins
tried to brush it off with steel
but my sentence is incomplete
You made me pull harder
and I fall deeper in the soil
mud beneath your fingers
is not like mud in my blood
You put out the fire
just to keep me in the dark
but I've been already blinded
and your whip strikes with brutal force
I try to speak up
but my lungs are full of stones
and lies you have seeded
make me pull once more
This is my last confession
I loved you and I don't
last whisper to the wind
may it carry ashes of joy
