Never let anyone tell you
How ****** up a person is
Pointing at Her or Him
At them or here with
Disdain dressed
To look like despair
God damns the
Sanctimony of fools
Black robes
Far worse for the wear
Let em point at me
I have not a care
Because just like them
I am Jack the Ripper. I am St. Paul
I sifted salt with Ghandi
And I slit throats with King Saul
I am the ****** Mary
I hear the knocking
on my door
It may just be the neighbor
A fiend looking to fix me
Or to score. Either way
We’ve all been here
Countless times maybe more
Its eternity that's calling
Remember living forever?
Before you were ever born?
I've offered every solace
I've mended every fall
I’ve turned the other cheek
And the pious broke my jaw
My work here is near done
And trust me I had a ball
So shed not a tear
Nor curse me to befall
For soon you will be me
And I will be you all.
