Seven Sins

Ren

7

Salwch yw fy athrawen

Fe dorrodd fy ngwên

Mae fy esgyrn yn teimlo′n henYma y gorwedd corff Ren

I lay broken on the kitchen floor

I clawed at the laminate

Pain wandered my body, an uninvited guest

Bones of a home where the devil could rest

I cursed the gods, cursed my messiah

Cursed my maker, I cursed all of creation

There I lay, feeble and thin

(Sick boi, sick boi, sever my sins)

Have you ever felt pain?

Stomach-wrenching, unrelenting, tell me

Have you ever felt pain?

Condescending, muscles clenching, tell me

Have you ever felt pain?

A rose emerges from the pavement cracks

They'll write my eulogy with broken glass

Eternal parallax (pain)

Pain the author, I accept this

Pain the teacher, bruised apprentice

Pain the system, pain will come

Pain the mother, I′m the son

Pain that splits you in two when it hits you

The dark and the light are converged to one

Pain that twists you, the Heavens dismiss you

The Father, the Ghost, and the Holy Son

Body bags, body bags, body-bagging me

Zip it up quick if it's a zombie

I search for peace in the belly of a beast

Sick boi, sick boi, onomatopoeia

Running up a fever, followin' a leader

Wanna be me, ha? Grass isn′t greener

Bright light seizure, dynamite dealer

Dine at the table of the coroner, eat up, fuck

Thirteen years and I′ve been feelin' so stuck

Lucky number thirteen, just my luck

Empires tumble, rubble and dust

The universe shrinks and the planets combust

In God we trust

God tied a noose to his neck

And he walked to the edge and he jumped

Angels wept

I bear witness watching the whole thing unfold from my bed

A bed where I never deep rest

A bed where I′m always depressed

A bed with a human oppressed

A bed for a tomb where I slept

A bed in the room that's a womb for this mess

Sick boi, bitten by a tick boy

Tell me how it feels to be buried while you breathe

Stones and sticks, boy, pain is a gift, boy

Hard to make a stand when you crawl on your knees

And I kneel

I kneel at the altar of my own disease and I beg

I begged the sky for mercy

Mercy never came, I did me dirty

Thirty-three and hurting, cursing

Jesus died at 33 and still, my sins are lurking

Gears are turning, future stays uncertain

Surgeon incision, murder ambition

Fear of the unknown preserves a religion

Denounced the gods when my body went missing

Back then the pain sprayed, ricocheted like a MAC 10

Hot lead hit the bed I was trapped in

Red wings, seraphim, out of God′s grace

Cried tears from Heaven like Clapton

Stick pins in a voodoo, Hendrix

Thick skin, stay humble, Kendrick

Stay skeptic, check the biometrics

Bloodstain, crime scene, forensics

Lights on, lights out

Fade into the background

Slow down, slow down

Runnin' from the silhouette of self-doubt

By now, by now

Really should′ve figured this shit out

Lights on, lights out

Smackdown

Let it be, let it be, quote John Lennon

Click-clack, John got shot for attention

What does that tell you about the good of intentions?

Bitterness formed in the storm of aggression

Prophets get dropped, imagining heaven

Martin Luther, Mahatma, more deadness

Six, six, followed by six and seven

Build 'em, praise 'em, bury ′em, dead ′em

I was born to be half a man with half a chance

My heart is in half, half-righteous, half is damned

Half a gram, heart goes troubles end

Thoughts stay darker than Uruk-Hai's masterplan

Sharper than glass, shards splinter and

Sinner man, sinner man, irony could kill a man

Pain makes money when the music lands, expand

Pay me my cheese, rain down parmesan

(Six, six, six) followed by seven

Seven whole sins for a self-made Armageddon

Sin one: Pride

Pride makes a man kill a man for his ego to survive

Sin two: Lust

Lust makes the grass look greener, crucifies trust

Sin three: Gluttony

Humans consume and consume, planet Earth gets a frontal lobotomy

Four: Sloth

Rinse and repeat, reruns, repeat, time lost

Sin five: Envy

That′s when one man's win is an another man′s frenzy

Sin six: Wrath

Rage, vengeance, kill it, psychopath

Sin seven: Greed

Greed plants a seed that will destroy us all if we succumb to greed

If we take what we need

Then take more than we need, then our oceans will bleed

Still, we feed and we feed and we sleep then repeat

Then we exile the shepherds and follow the sheep

We inherit the mean

We inherit this world that we bruised and we beat

We inherit this vanity, circles of creeds

Inherit the liars, the murderous thieves

One sin for every one day of the week
