Psalms and Uncertainty

from Tattoos by rioghnach

/

lyrics

pouring concrete 'round my feet,
impression almost complete
have you seen my knees lately?
penitence suits me.

sobbing blood-red tears from the side
that they thrice denied
i'm so sorry i'm not enough
for what you cried

when am i gonna stop feeling like an open wound?
i am never gonna save the world.
keep forsaking me and save just a couple flames for me
hell is waiting on my bended knee

ave maria, gratia plena
dios, madre mia, mi vida buena

when i walk out these shattered pews will mean more than me and you
i'm begging you take my hand and make me more than a man
make me more than a man, make me more than a man
i've done everything i can, please stop me from being a man

and when you get down on bended knee,
only humility sets you free
a martyr's burning inside of me
go on, take him, let me be

closure's made of sights you still wish
you could somehow unsee
now i'm in the open
i wish they would blind me

tilt your head up, poor soul, and ache
til you crumple under
weights you might have wanted
because you once wondered

god, please suffocate me fast
or i'll never last
i'm your burden, and i'm always sorry
but
