A bastard from the bad lands
A boy bruised by bad times
Weak grip, broken hands
Built by a broken man
I laugh at myself as I'm dragged by the streets
All I have is my kin so please leave them be

If you're gonna punish anyone, just punish me
If you're gonna punish anyone, just punish me
If you're gonna punish anyone, just punish me

Here I am, take me
I'll be the vessel for my family's agony
The weight of it has got me on my knees
Can you hear me scream?
It's getting hard to breathe

So let them walk and punish me
I'll be the vessel for my family's agony
But the weight of it has got me on my knees
Can you hear me scream?
It's getting hard to breathe

Just punish me
