Paint:
me in tar, dredged from your judas soul
Where you once stored my love:
a devotion-less hole
Truth:
A shame-bound train and you’re tied to its track
Hypocrisy:
A thrown boomerang always finds its way back
Pray:
with your queen in your false praise of god
Bury:
your guilt in her sanctimonious nod
“How loud must it scream
Before I will hear?”
Craft your hollow platitudes
Into your pious veneer
See,
I know
the putrid self-loathing
That screams from within
How loud must it scream
For you to accept your chagrin?

That screams from within
How loud must it scream
For you to accept your chagrin?
