Confessional

Lying on my back
And soaking up the dark
The beauty of it all
Escapes me
Acid- stained remark
The bitter matriarch
The cruelty of it all
Enraging
Thought I heard you say
You gave the pet away
So hold me in this room
And cage me
Hold on to despair
A melancholy prayer
Your suffering is so
Amazing

Cleanliness is godliness
Your sinfulness is obvious
Apologies monotonous
We seek

Ashes on my head
Slashes in my bed
The tears that flow are
Unremitting
Ashes in my mouth
And candles spread about
The only light this room
Is getting
Hair shirt on my back
Misery intact
My penance is to keep
Regretting
Engraven in my skin
That's how it can begin
Hold your breath and keep
Submitting

Cleanliness is godliness
Your sinfulness is obvious
Apologies monotonous
We seek

Under the water
Hold me in water
Give up your daughter
The lamb up to slaughter
The eyes of the statue
Are all I'm attached to

My sins are against you
Have always incensed you
My sins are against you
Have always incensed you
My sins are against you
Have always incensed you
My sins are against you
Have always incensed you

Cleanliness is godliness
Your sinfulness is obvious
Apologies monotonous
We seek
