Fingers Crossed
Promise you won’t laugh at me?
I can hear them cackling.
Flames below are crackling.
Hades licks my fucking feet.
I come here to get away,
If I don’t I’ll go astray.
I can translate what they say:
‘Burn your faith and turn to me.’
Sometimes I just burst in flames,
Igniting as I take the blame.
Those voices, they all sound the same.
They call me all - all but my name.
Maybe I should hear ‘em out?
See what all the fuss’s about?
You say I should let them go?
What if they’re my only hope?
What if I just take a canvas,
Paint it black - search it for answers?
I could shred it into pieces,
Give it to ‘em - try repentance?
I swear that my mind’s a reaper.
I know that it’s me that killed her.
I don’t have the time to feel it.
This is my last line - please kill it.
This line shows you I tells lies.
This line has got pickle pies.
What’s that sound? Please don’t be daft.
I thought you promised not to laugh?
