An Apparition

Forgive me for all I am not

While my carcass swings by intersecting walls

Born above a breeding ground filled with disease

I will no longer carry your cross

For I can hardly hold my own

Pulling splinters from an ever-changing face

I'm terrified of me

Kicking and screaming as I fall back to the earth

By my own hands and not divine appendages

Birds of paradise swarming isolated skies

Searching for signs of life to quench their thirst

I'm terrified of me

I will no longer carry your cross

For I can hardly hold my own

I'm terrified of me

I am an apparition before I'm even gone

I am an apparition before I'm even gone

God-guided razors at my wrist

Forgive me for all I am not
