Blessed Burden
Defeater

march. 1945 unwanted from his first breath. a mother's blessing born, a father's burden worn. the bright shine of the sunrise along the tile floor to the open door. with blood on the sheets she lay on the mattress. staring aimlessly. numb, dark and decayed on the bathroom floor of their rundown apartment. scraping fingers on tile just to feel something. unwanted by a bastard father. unwanted, but through the hazel eyes of his mother. she's praying for god to save her. please save me. but when she needs him most, he doesn't answer. another rosary, another unanswered plea. please take us away, please let us be safe. let everyone that sees me forget my face. but all she gets is the drunk with his fists and that old devil look in his eye. him and jack, that gambling debt, that old devil look in his eye. and without warning he raises his hand to her and says, your god can't hear you, not down here. no one will save you because no one cares. and with her newborn boy, they would cry until the early morning light. it was the first of many, many sleepless nights.

A Wound a Scar A Wound And A Scar At Peace Atonement Bastards Beggin' In The Slums Bled Out Blood In My Veins Borrowed & Blue Brothers But Breathing Carrying Weight Cemetery Walls Contrition Cowardice Dead Set Dear Father Debts December 1943 Divination Empty Glass Everything Went Quiet Forgiver Forgetter Head Stone Headstone Home Ain't Never Home Hopeless Again I Don't Mind MoonShine Nameless Streets No Faith No Kind of Home No Relief No Savior No Shame Penance Pillar Of Salt Prophet In Plain Clothes Quiet The Longing Rabbit Foot Remorse Singin' New York Town Spared In Hell The Bite and Sting The Blues The City By Dawn The Red White and Blues Unanswered Vice & Regret Warm Blood Rush Waves Crash, Clouds Roll White Knuckles White Oak Doors
