A Plea Bargain
Sweet Mother Mary
Please throw me away
Heaven takes a toll
and I cannot pay
Sweet Mother Mary
Take me to your sky
Fill me with goodness
Then leave me to die
And what is this red
that stains my hands?
Will you cleanse me
and then leave me be?
Sweet Mother Mary
Keep me outside your heart
Reduce you to nothing
and pass away vicariously through me
I wear this mask
to see the world
Take in what I want
and then nothing more
Sweet Mother Mary
Knees covered in swollen stings
Please pray for them
Please
Oh, Mother we are not holy when we are here
Am I a part of this?
Tell me where to go
You have birthed the world
and you must end your creation
or give me a gun to stop myself
My skin peels back
Sooner forgetting later
