Violent Religion

I hide my scars all night long.

Lately, I've been trying to let them go.

You would not want to go where I've been.

Or you would lose your crown again.

You wouldn't like me.

Despite anything you say, you will despise me.

I hate me, too. Underneath my skin

Is a series of flaws and all my sins.

I tried to teach me the ways of this world

But you grew on me.

I had to fight my own resolve to let it go

And let you go.

I will take my last breath.

Then I will say goodbye.

Violence is my religion

Count me in.

I’m sorry for what I put you through last night.

But all I could say was goodbye

Humiliate me. Rejuvenate me.

I’m looking for another way.

But nothing seems to grasp my attention.

Except for your eyes. Goodbye.

I will leave you behind.

It is the best for both of us.

It hurts. But it works.

Is there another way?

I asked you to say goodbye.

But you would not leave me behind.

My eyes see black and white

My heart screams out tonight.

And then I see your eyes

Goodbye.
