To attempt, without guilt, to live in this world
Is a lost cause, you all revel in the guilt
Disheartenedly awaiting in an endless line
To be administered your daily beating
And yet you stand, bloodied but unbowed
Overestimating your need to be
To carry on existing in spite of the burden
Never forgetting the pressure around your throat
I hold out my arms like branches
For you to hang yourselves upon
I hold out my hands for you to take
And place upon your neck for sweet constriction
I hold out my heart for you to crush
And violate and weep over your own aching hearts
I'll lay down my life in reverence
To rot in a hole by your side
Regret the effort
Revere the pain
Resent the attempt
Repeat the shame
Regret the effort
Revere the pain
Resent the attempt
Repeat the shame
Regret the effort
Revere the pain
Resent the attempt
Repeat the shame
Regret the effort
Revere the pain
Resent the attempt
Repeat the shame
