mortified
sing your life
it’s ok
sell your sides
you’re mortified

and blessed to death
they’ll stretch your neck
to fit the crime
and test your weight
against a sealed escape

you’re getting weak
the futures speak
your past and prime
is crashing in upon
the walls so thin

the stranglehold
he wizened so old
in a courtroom shell
pretend to move
condemned to hell

western lecture
make sure that she
says my name
it’s in her book
it’s the shameless crook

(Instrumental)

mortified
sing your life
it’s ok
sell your sides
you’re mortified
you’re mortified
