Vessel

A bastard from the bad lands
A boy bruised by bad times
Weak grip, broken hands
Built by a broken man
I laugh at myself as I’m dragged by the streets
All I have is my kin so please leave them be
If you’re gonna punish anyone, just punish me
Here I am, Take me
I’ll be the vessel for my family’s agony
The weight of it has got me on my knees
Can you hear me scream?
It’s getting hard to breathe
So let them walk and punish me
