The Beggar

[00:53.96] I'm sick of chewing at your heels, I'm sick of licking up your spit
[01:04.30] What if I keep the power I give you? Will I then decide to live?
[01:14.13] The mud is sucking like a womb, to pull my naked body in
[01:24.89] Without your eyes upon my weakness, will I forget where I begin?
[01:36.93] I am the stranger in your mirror, I am a glove without a hand
[01:48.39] I am a body gently spinning, now deliquescing in the wind
[02:00.36] I am an empty vessel ringing in a stone house in the woods
[02:12.24] I am the poem that was written on the backside of your lids
[02:24.38] I am the shithead unforgiven, now crawling up your inner leg
[02:36.97] I am an insеct in your bedclothes searching for a placе to beg
[02:49.06] Now every word's a new beginning when there's nothing left to give
[03:01.66] What if I steal the child inside you? Will I remember how to live?
[03:22.76] When will I finally learn to live?
[03:42.66] When do I finally get to live?
[03:55.17]
[05:01.07] I stand before you polished, golden, I keep a globe of light within
[05:11.83] My eyes eroded by derision, they know the purpose of the wind
[05:23.19] In every soul, there is a craven supplicating begging shit
[05:34.24] But my objection leads to freedom, my seed is growing and will live
[05:45.06] How many people were forgotten along this road of broken limbs?
[05:56.94] Upon this hill, I'll build my tower to survey their plowing in
[06:09.18] I hear the whispering of angels, I see the dust is made of jewels
[06:21.13] I swallow liquid from a river fed by the sewage of the cruel
[06:33.43] My love is purified, but reeking of your calumny endured
[06:45.64] My feet are bruised and torn and leaking, but lead me towards a silver shore
[06:58.91] Before I go there, sing a prayer into my palms beneath your chin
[07:11.18] I am the slaughter at your altar, that's where my will to live begins
[07:33.18] That's where my need for you begins
[07:50.23] My love for you will never end
[08:00.13]
