i hung myself at the Hopper House
i propped myself out on display
when all the people came to observe
they all tore my clothes away
the bright light of saintliness
beams on my naked chest
it shows of the outer scars
but hides all the rest

how long till nightfall?
i'll make my escape

so when i went out to Farmers Road
i slipped on the cobblestone
the slimy boulder punctured my flesh
and exposed my marrow bone
and outspilled from my bone like water
the pent-up pains repressed
so blindly flesh rose and exploded
the scars that reside upon my chest
