Bawls and Brawls
The nature of things
Touch me and your fingers singe
Venomous with words and deeds
There is no protection
There aren't enough prayer beads
I've done my share of dirt
And tried to make up
Half-heartedly
For what it's worth
All in now
Since I'm out of rebirths
Forgiveness is not expected
I've accepted dying alone
There is no need to show up at my funeral
It's too late for me to atone
And I won't be there to mourn
