Canonized - Blacklisted

Martyr without a cause, stripped of all my pride

The same pride they won’t let me lay down and die

Alone exposed to the bone, stripped of all my skin

The same skin I been hiding myself in

Plagued with thorns in my side, age showed by scars in my mind

You’ve never laid in the beds that I’ve made

Don’t tell me about being afraid

You’ve never died the ways that I’ve died

What do you know about speaking to God?

You’ve never roamed the homes that I’ve roamed

Using your body to shield your soul
