Give Unto Me

Give unto me
Your hate in the strongest degree
I'm not worthy of your love.
Say the meanest thing you can think of.

You've already punished me.
Killed me without any lack of glee.
Given unto me, all your trouble.
Tore my heart and threw it into the rubble.

Give unto me, the things you say
The things that burn and never go away.
Just as long as you're by my side.
I can never feel denied.

But you're not here.
Give unto me, everything you fear.
I'm not worthy to breathe your air
so punish me without a care.
