Indigo Girls

the wages of sin hold my heart hostage

my mouth is still cruel

my skin is in bondage

my body is scarred from the lyrics I've carved

bruises I've healed

lips that I've starved

wounds I've replaced with love and with hate

the truth set me free

but my faith was raped

I've broken my silence

lied to myself

spoken in violence

been someone else

screamed at my demons

prayed to my god

begged for forgiveness

my hands are still hot
