I'd rip my brain straight out of my skull
If I thought it guaranteed a rebirth
Twelve stepped a thousand times over
Never more than steps away from your hurt
No stress, I'm blessed, I'll walk it off
Ain't much left of my time
I've pled, I confessed, I'll pay the cost
I carry what's mine
My whole life blocking out all the wrong
Never realized it's eclipsing the good
Mid race, now tied by a thread
Deeper cuts once it's all understood
Shouldering eternities of guilt
The weight of which levigates my bones
Still I'm blessed I walk this world
Free of dirt and dampened stones.
