Man Of The Cloth

Mother wanted me behind the pulpit
Screaming “Hallelujah”
This is a part of my design

I’ll remain a vessel
Sucking in your light
Photo-photosynthesis
You left me high and dry despite my pride

Where were you when I needed you the most?
Up above or down below?
Painted a cross on the door
Didn’t feel a thing right down to my marrow

I gave you all I’ve got
But I’ll never be a man of the cloth
I’ll keep you at bay
Despite my DNA

Palms together like a supplicant
Begging on my knees
Praying-fucking-please
Show me a sign
Don't leave me benign

I gave you all I’ve got
But I’ll never be a man of the cloth
I’ll keep you at bay
Despite my DNA
