Atonement

This is my atonement

For the things that I have made

All the people, places, demons

Entities that I gave

Away little bits and pieces

Of my very own soul

But I learned a few lessons

And I paid a few tolls

Every martyr needs a sacrament

It’s time I made mine

But I’m not a fucking martyr

Just a little numb inside

I tried to be a savior

Tried to be a damn king

Died trying to rule the world

Everyone and everything

But the biggest thing I wish I knew then

I know now

Is that you don’t get to ascend

Before you learn how to bow

And now I’m sorry

I’m sorry

I’m sorry
