Skeleton Key To The Cemetery - Dead End Path

when you born,

your body came to rest in a cradle of thorns

a saviors faith

traced in a childs face

even though he hasn’t

spoken to god today

when you born, baptized to be on your own

now your gone for the gain of others

you’ve fallen out of grace with humanity

three strikes against your path to divinity

admit to yourself?

where do you begin

everything and everything over again

it started at birth where your future died first

followed by your penchant for self worth

out of touch, out of favor with god

out of time with everything that you love

you’ve fallen out of grace with humanity

three strikes against your path to divinity

lie, cheat and steal

sign of the cross to help you heal

but will it

help you

heal?
