Fingers Crossed

Promise you wonโ€™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 donโ€™t Iโ€™ll go astray.

I can translate what they say:

โ€˜Burn your faith and turn to me.โ€™


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 โ€˜em out?

See what all the fussโ€™s about?

You say I should let them go?

What if theyโ€™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 โ€˜em - try repentance?


I swear that my mindโ€™s a reaper.

I know that itโ€™s me that killed her.

I donโ€™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.

Whatโ€™s that sound? Please donโ€™t be daft.

I thought you promised not to laugh?
