Golden Bat

Golden Bat

Golden Bat
6-20-06

Hold it there in your hands
Come on now please
Do you understand?
What this would mean to me?
Take that golden bat
And hit me hard as you can
So that when I come back
The pain will be easier to stand

Please, there must be a place
I can find somewhere
That will take me away
From all this pain that wears on me
Everyday

I'm cornered
And I need a way out
Come on, Swing that bat
Over and Over
And then laugh out loud

Here he comes
The boy with that bat
The golden shimmer becomes
The light through this black
I scream don't you leave me like this
Hit me without a single miss

Come on boy
You hold this bat
Now take it and smash
My face like a plastic toy

I'm cornered
And I need a way out
Come on, Swing that bat
Over and Over
And then laugh out loud

Bash the metal
To my skin
Not enough blood at all
Hit me harder, sink it deeper in

The cold touch of gold
Kisses my head with blood
I was sleeping for a while I was told
When I awoke with a pole
In my palm and a broken mirror by my side
There was no little boy and no golden bat
It was only me with a mistake I couldn't take back
Last night when I tried to take my own life
