You drank from my skin, parasite Buried me in sin, objectified Crushed into stone, altered to bone, feared my unknown So you deemed me the curse Tied me to shame, branded my name, bound me in lace Pierced me to serve his thirst My spine knotted under frequencies not from this earth Twisted, torn, in multiform decaying in the dirt You siphon me I bled in vain You fed on what they starved in me Worshipped my wounds like a goddamn prophecy Preyed You dragged me past the copper veil But your teeth knew me deeper than their tongues ever will taste I bled in vain I bled in vain I knelt on broken glass and swallowed your blade You chained me to the temple floor like an offering Prison on a sacred ground Reveling in my pain God, you kept me calling out When you knew I bled in vain You fed on what they starved in me Worshipped my wounds like a goddamn prophecy Preyed You dragged me past the copper veil But your teeth knew me deeper than their tongues ever will taste I bled in vain I bled in vain We built idols from her body Carved the shrines from her spine Sliced her into a digestible altar Then left her to rot in the light We chained her worth to our need Labeled her chaos as disorder Buried her truth from the creed God is dead, and we have killed her They sleepwalk beside their misery Their mark on earth is like a stain Projecting ruin onto you Claiming its righteous rage You wear your shadow like a crown While they hide theirs in a cage While their kingdom's burning down Burning down I bled in vain
