the sins of the father

your tongue in my mouth
a taste you think i'd die without
give me your wounds
and let me make you beautiful

(i become everything for you
saint, masochist, sinner
my screams, my scars, my piety - yours
undying devotion like some whore for jesus)

your sin in my mouth
this crucifixion, devout
give me your palms
and let me make you beautiful

 (i spit, i swallow - holy, holy
you call me blasphemer or martyr
force me on my knees
so that god can see me pray)

your taste in my mouth
a taste i can't wash out
give me your gun
and let me make you beautiful
