Nothing Sacred - Memento

Since water of the world

I knew I’d have to face you

The colour of my bites

Yes they remind me of you

In your blood I write

I am not afraid

This is who I am And I will never be like you

I do not kneel

All I’m asking

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Sailing through the flood

Why did he keep two of you

Splinter in your mind’s eye

My Phoenix rises to swoop

still floating in the gray water of your womb

I am not afraid

This is who I am And I will never be like you

I do not kneel

All I’m asking

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Take the edge of my thumbs

Bury the nails deep into your eyes

Maybe then you’ll see my light

I’d rather crawl, drooling with the beggars

They’ve got more to say
