Cradle me in your wooden arms

Twist your flowers around my head

I cried all the tears I could

While you slept I bled

I turn to you

But you never knew me

I forgive you for the things that you do to me

Press my body until it splinters

Pull my flesh apart

When I break into

Wet your lips with my heart

I turn to you

But you never knew me

I forgive you for the things that you do to me

Weight my bones down

Lay your soul upon me

With your suffocation

And hands that are clean

Lead me by the hand

Like a lamb before the slaughter

Nail my body to the southern wind

I am your willing martyr

I turn to you

But you never knew me

I forgive you for the things that you do to me

Weight my bones down

Lay your soul upon me

With your suffocation

And hands that are clean
