It's crystal clear as nighttime races on into daylight
And I feel the bloody traces of your loving scratched across my face
I'm bending over backwards as you try to knock me into shape
You're knocking me to pieces as you try to put me in my place
It's all that I deserve
Yes, it's all that I deserve
For my sins, my sins, my sins, my sins
I've set alight this bed and now it's time to lie in it
I'll say my prayers again and smoke a final cigarette
I'm gonna take this noise I made and pull it tight around my neck
So feel no pity for me, I only want contempt
Contempt
In need of help and you refuse to hear my cries
You may be an angel but you've fallen far from paradise
And I don't think that any angel could ever tell the lies
That you have told to me do now I'm telling you goodbye
It's all that I deserve
Yes, it's all that I deserve
For my sins, my sins, my sins, my sins
I don't deserve your pity
All I deserve is contempt.
