Sanctified

Born face down in the dirt born with mud in my eyes born kicked in the teeth born a loser to life So put me on that pedestal so everyone can see and listen to the gospel of the living mockery Yes I will be sanctified Once negatively spent every single day A tortured beaten soul In every single way I'm such a goddamned fool For living the way I do But I play the hand I'm given not the hands I choose I will be sanctified! Now the hero of the masses The King of the word A disciple to conviction It's obvious yet absurd How someone's way of living Can become so converse From pauper to prince A blessing to a curse But I will be sactified!
