Crucified

This is my skin, battered and blue
This is my body, broken for you
This is my world, a sickening view
This is my blood, which I shall spill for you

Cut away the layers, down to the bone
Down there’s the inner child from which I have grown
Feeling bleeding, stripped, skinned, and salted
I burnt and then pissed on all I ever wanted

Chorus:
I’ll gladly walk – that extra mile
Cut my throat – to make me smile
I’m vandalized – I sacrificed
I’m stretched out wide
I’m crucified – I’m crucified

My guardian angel, bleeding on the deck
Cupid paralyzed, with a broken neck
My one and only prayer is my own death threat
The wages of sin each and every regret

Break my back, but you cannot crush me
Kick the chair, but you cannot hang me
Only happy when I see you fall
On top of your head, I always walk so tall

Chorus:
I’ll gladly walk – that extra mile
Cut my throat – to make me smile
I’m vandalized – I sacrificed
I’m stretched out wide
I’m crucified – I’m crucified
