Honeycreeper

I was a white feather
Hell-bent for leather
Brutish hammerhead

Got loose for bread
And phrenetic pleasure

I threw fits and starts, writhen
Made ghosts, sought decay, raze
Bad math, bad meth, night born
A little wretch and easy makes

I was told to act like a miracle
But I'm a total disgrace
I planned on holding my head high
But I lost my way

I was a brittle weeper
A trill believer
Hacksaw haircut
And ill-fitting clothes
But I'm no honeycreeper

Live wrong, live long, prowling
Sacred charge, small mercies, fraught
Uneasy and unclean, wary
I stalk divine beasts

I was told to act like a miracle
But I'm a total disgrace
I planned on holding my head high
But I lost my way

Unfaithful
Come in close
Altarpiece
Welcome home

I was told to act like a miracle
But I'm a total disgrace
I planned on holding my head high
But I lost my way

Have you ever met yourself?
I was insufferable
I tried to live like an honest man
But it's a closing circle
