Innocence is a thing of the past
Ignorance follows us down the crooked path
I wear my crown of thorns
But they’re smothered by a field of roses
Did you find what you were looking for?
It’s always where we least expect it to be
Stayed here from dusk ‘til dawn
Kept watch, I’m a scarecrow to many
But I know you know I’m not the one you want
Strip me bare, violate me to the end, what a work of art
Don’t you realise I’m not like the other ones?
Cross me if you dare, got plenty more where that came from
Babe, you got me and now I’m done for
If I’m the bull, then you must be the matador
Mercy is the guiltiest plea, I surrender
I’ll be your scapegoat, a martyr to remember
Used up, like an afghan crucifix
What did I do to deserve such happiness?
And I’m left here rotting in shame
Eli, won’t somebody please show me the way?
Am I in the wrong, or were they always right?
Knelt before the altar, told a lil white lie
I feel cheated, mistreated, sold myself away
To a flea market where the fleas don’t fly anyway
We’re all the same, but their claws never stray away (from its grip)
Locked up in a cage, I was mocked and whipped
What did I do to deserve such happiness?
Framed by a traitor, that traitor was me
Cause I wanted it to go back to how it used to be
Go back to when I was free;
I taste the future, what could’ve been
So put me out of my misery
I don’t deserve to play you like you played me
You told me I was family, but I guess daddy didn’t love me
And I guess it’s too late, to run away without being burned at the stake
This wasn't one of my faves when I initially wrote it but, looking back, it's kinda cute.
Channelling the Messiah like it ain't ****
