Guttersnipe

A Poem by Carmel Kirk

Set me free
From this beast
Bloody knees
My dark release

I tried to take the high road
All lanes were closed

Nail me on the cross
Nail me on the cross
Nail me on the cross
Nail me...on the...CROSS!
You wanted it?
You got it

I've died so many times
Ive lost *track*
*Marks* inch their way
Up your arms
Straight to your heart

I tried to take the high road
All lanes were closed

I'll wear this crown of THORNS
