Stigmata

I am the guardian angel

To these demons within

The cells of my flesh

Contain the blood of generation untold

The soul reaches out

Writing on this stake of earthly sin

Hoping for transcendence

The answers to unfold

Hide away

Inside yourself forever

All that you touch may cause you harm

Hide away

No, don't look back never ever

You, yourself in the charm

The dark waters of your sunconscious

Must be guarded well

Your own feelings are deceitful

No one is safe from this sinner's hell

Wounded hearts in need of faith

Sweet water to our parched throats

Religious schizophrenia

The old you becomes the scapegoat

Hide away

Inside yourself forever

Give up the control

Give up the blame

Hide away

No, don't look back never ever

You never owned your flesh, only your name

You're trying to nail youself down

It won't stay down

You're trying to nail yourself down

I won't stay down

You're trying to nail youself down

It won't stay down

You're trying to nail yourself down

They won't stay down

All your prayers

They're just words thrown to the wind

Muddled and rearranged

Devoid of all sense

There's no way to tell

Who or what they might bring

I'm the only hope

Your last defense

Your last defense

Know the price of unleashed empathy

Too much of it will get you killed

Recognize yourself, a tiny world among the others

Balanced, defined, but never fulfilled

I feel for you
