Unclean

lyrics

I’ve failed you
Every single day.
I daily nail you
To that tree.
When I try to do
What I want to
What I know I should
I don’t.
When I try to do
What I don’t want to
What I shouldn’t
I do.
I claim your name
In the same breath
I curse it.
I beg forgiveness
While plotting my sin.
I carve your words
And face into my arms
While the devil
Is carving out
His place in my heart.
I could say
The devil made me do it,
But I called Lucifer in.
You stand at my door and knock,
But Satan is already here.
Faye looks down
Kneeling at the feet
Of her Savior
Watching the boy she spent
A lifetime praying for
Wallow in his own filth
Watching her hopes undone
Hearing me twist
Her prayers to blasphemy.
You lived on your knees
To give me strength to stand,
But this life is my own.
These choices were mine.
You haven’t failed me.
I’ve failed you both.
This body’s unclean.
This body is weak.
