Lyrics
Jesus lies dying in my bed Companions since birth.. In this stagnant dingy haunt He never really lived Last night I beat him as he would not leave My insane eyes stare at him as his welted body bleeds Frequently I rape him as I know nothing else He curls up like a fetus and paints his face with sadness Now a fragment of remorse has etched I bandage his wounds, I kiss the face of jesus christ but he is dead What can I do? You have forsaked me, called yourself messiah, expected me to follow But now he is dead and his prophecies with him I will bury him not as insult to your face As I stare at his corpse one detail disturbs me His cold stark finger points where I have not been.. From my house, a cage of rotten wood I stumble forth to lay beneath the bush Withered bones groan I cultivate as the soil and I grow closer The sun receives an empty gaze It mourns It knows my life is gone No more to offer but my flesh to this soil And a single tear marks my final prayer A rosebud sits in the palm of your hand as I end This flower It blossoms
