Nooses

This blister has made a permanent stay
Upon the fingers plagued by a hand
A hand that couldn't bare to raise up, be seen
And speak like a man.

Bury me, let me lay
I'll be right there when you look away
Bury me, let me lay
Remember me when I'm dead I'm dead.

Asphyxiating in water so cold
Frigid straight to the marrow.

Pushed down, buried deep inside
Where no light can shine through
To live within weakened thoughts and brittle bones.

Bury me, let me lay
I'll be right there when you look away
Bury me, let me lay
Remember me when I'm dead I'm dead.

You start to go under
The waterline feels like a noose.

With every step the surface gets closer to your neck
This sovereign baptism is the last thing you'll have the chance to disrespect.

Wicked tongues lick the silver spoon
And the timid become the footpath
While you turn away
Bury me, let me lay
I'll be right there when you look away
Bury me, let me lay
Punishment waits impatiently.

The blind follower requests a closing pardon
There are no ears to hear this false sermon
Your faulty judgment displayed so clouded
Remember me when I'm dead I'm dead.
