head banging my days away

i say
throw me a sledgehammer
i want out of this godforsaken jail

i say
throw me a sledgehammer
for mercy’s sakes can’t you hear me wail

i say
i’m so sick of sharing my cell
with my glowing shit effigies in the pail

i say
my heads a wrecking ball
but my pale bodies entombed and frail

i say
weary as my body be upon this rusty cross of nails
i say 
weary as my body be upon this rusty bed of nails

i say
this wrecking ball just can’t be laid down
mine enemy is the one who holds the fixed scales

i say
i’ll swing up that wrecking ball till the sky is brought down
i’ll swing up that wrecking ball the next time i exhales
