I am
An aftermath of atonement
Burned at the stake
Blackened
Peeling skin
Raw from stoning
At the square
The demons laughed in the crowd
The crows perched at the trees
Waiting for their next meal
Still can't get enough
Of this
Forgiveness
One day
I'll repent
For this pilgrimage of pain
Self-inflicted wounds
Cleanse me of sin
This is me
I've been stripping it all away
How transparent do I need to be
For you to see
That I'm sorry
