Blame

I know you must know it now
 My organs have stoned
 My fingers are numb around
 Your warm, pulsing throat
 And I whisper, my wife
 She opens her pale eyes
 She smiled, so I smiled
 And I got what I deserved
 This house was my flowered heart
 But my petals have fallen
 Do you love him, tell me now
 Or I'll show you my scars
 And you will bow boldly
 And tell me you're sorry
 But you're hardly moving
 Wake up and give me
 What I know
 I deserve
 Hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm
 The farmer's wife heard it from
 The street down below
 And later fully recalled each harrowing note
 And she will cry, holy
 Spirit has cursed me
 And for this my
 Ending sooner than I deserve
 The children were lucky
 To have only
 Used ears
 As I stood on top of him looking down
 I felt the fear in their skin they plead
 Father
 Did you kill our leader
 Our rock and great teacher
 What did he deserve
 And I replied
 No, killed my
 Leeches
 And the wound that has freed us
 I hope you can see it
 For what I deserve
 The judge would ask, hy again, was it him
 And not her
 The only response I could think was
 To settle my nerves
 And try
 Killing my leeches
 For sucking me speechless
 Abandoning secrets
 And trust
 All the same
 So I deserve
 What I deserve
 So I deserve
 What I deserve
 Hmm-mm-mm
 Hmm-mm-mm
