Cremation

THE LYRICS:
Go ahead
Torch the part of your head
Where you made my wake
There lies the mistake that made me wicked
That made me dirty
You
won’t talk to me
You won’t look at me
Cause my witchery
And my heresy
Made you filthy, made you dirty
Chorus:
I thought you’re different
You’re first in line
To see my cremation
What your
hands do
Becomes strange to you
While you ease my pain
I become the stain
That made it faceless
That made it worthless
Am I the
Magdalene
That made your mouth curl
Because I chose to care
Unlike the rest of the world
I’m not poison
I am your devil
Repeat Chorus
I want
back my time
You’re all the same…
Sometimes I love you
Out of habit…
