I killed them. | 1 |
They said it wasn't worth it. | 2 |
Sponged it all, sucked it all in. | 3 |
Listened to the voices of well known strangers | 4 |
Telling me to forget their treason. | 5 |
Treason against their own kind, their own kin, their own child. | 6 |
Father told me it was for my own good. | 7 |
Mother told me I was a stupid kid. | 8 |
Father told me listen to my mother. | 9 |
Mother told me I disgust God. | 10 |
I told them nothing. | 11 |
Sponge it all, suck it all deep inside. | 12 |
I let my bloated heart soak up their dirt, their lies, their life. | 13 |
Time after time I thought of life dipped in the freedom to choose | 14 |
I thought of life as fornicating with the whores of Babylon. | 15 |
What if the filth I wiped up could actually lead to my basin of hope? | 16 |
Father's heart, Mother's mind...what if I could release the sewage with a blow of my own. | 17 |
| |
Night, sweet night guided my actions so swift. | 18 |
Father, who twisted my mind - his heart was a stockpile of deceit. | 19 |
The warmth inside that tried to corrupt me so long spilled out in night's dark cover. | 20 |
Mother, who confused me - the knife scraped her skull on it's way out. | 21 |
No warmth from this lair. | 22 |
Only a steam, a vapor, a choking mist of wonders to come. | 23 |
No shackle could be around my heart and my mind. | 24 |
No wire over my mouth and ears. | 25 |
Welcome Babylon... | 26 |
your ransom is paid. | 27 |
