Barnacles

Scrape these barnacles,
I am whole again
Finally purified or whatever that means
Put your back in it,
They laid their roots deep within the paint
Free me,
Free me from their teeth,
But don’t cut too deep
Scrape these barnacles,
I am utterly yours
Take my lack of control and swallow it whole
Break my excuses to leave over your bony knees
And scrub the sweat away,
Make me clean
Please pull the bad dreams out of me
Scrape these barnacles,
I am utterly yours
Take my lack of control and swallow it whole.
Break my excuses to leave over your bony knees
And free me,
Free me,
Free me,
Free me,
I am utterly yours
