Oh Father, please forgive me for my sins
I’m shooting arrows into heaps and ditches
I’m throwing without pulling out the pins
and gratifying whims of sons of bitches
Oh Mother, please relieve my foolish pride
I’m choking in the river that’s my mirror
remind me that true virtues lie inside
simplicity the thing to make them clearer
Oh Sister, teach me to always be kind
and call me out for selfishness and envy
this fog of jealousy will make me blind
if bitterness of lonely heart don’t end me
And Brother, hold me to my every vow
(a man’s commands are naught if he’s a liar)
and when I’m fucking up please tell me how
while fending off my cowardice with fire
For if I’m very lucky then one day you’ll be my child
and I want so very badly to deserve you
if maniacs and bureaucrats are undoing the world
through dedicated acts we may preserve you
