Contempt

You are the blood inside my head The stain that seeps into this bed You bring me down to my knees Take the sickness and disease You are the trigger for the crime Into the liquid lake of lead You are the damage and the dirt You are the thing I cannot hurt Everything you touch Everything you see Everything you are is enough for me Everything you seek Everytime you bleed I get down and pray for protection I confess to contempt When you bleed me You think it hurts But you need me In contempt When you bleed me You think it hurts But you need me I am the drought upon the seed I am the leper left unseen Stupidity is all I heed This broken vein that you try to bleed One more bitter cup of bile Before you crawl your famine mile The endless bottle and the gun Works anytime for anyone Everything you touch Everything you see Everything you are is enough for me Everything you seek Everytime you bleed I get down and pray for protection I confess to contempt When you bleed me You think it hurts But you need me In contempt When you bleed me You think it hurts But you need me
