I found myself at the bottom of the bottle
And I sat down to pray
My world was empty, luck ran dry
Been so long, what do I say
I’ve lived selfishly; I never gave
Only did I take
All I deserve is the pain I feel
Loneliness never forsakes
Why would anyone stop to care
For a leper who’s soul matches skin
I had the chance to rid the world
Of my unspeakable sins
But I didn’t do what I should have done
Another selfish ploy
I live to infect more than myself
Just another life to destroy
For reasons unknown, I know you’ll listen
Down to my knees, I fall
I won’t ask for mercy, pity, or love
I should just say nothing at all
