Slant - Sprain

So here’s hope soft as a pillow

Forced inside

The mouth of an innocent slumber

Smothered

We have our hate

We’ll keep it in

We’ll keep it close

You know your place

You shut your mouth

You keep it closed

Just one more wound to lick

To break convalescence

It’s one more ten hour shift

For more joy to inject

One more grave to be dug

One more stone to erect

Now watch them grasp for oxygen

Breath so sweet

They always took it for grantd

No longer

You had your air

And now you’ll feel just what it’s like

To be without

In thse last moments of your life

And out of everyone you know

I’ll be the one you hate the most

I can be your Lucifer

I’ll make you feel so small

And out of everyone you know

I’ll be the one you worship most

I can be your Jesus Christ

It makes me feel so small
