lyrics

What Then

Somebody should say
it’s rarely you
The thundering display
of their abuse
Meanwhile
the seeds of bile
will seep in
Coldly laid
in holes first made
for feeling

Numbering the ways
they told you so
Can somebody explain
the palindrome?
(No)
Feed the fire
and heave a sigh
you’re breathing
Most would make
that old mistake
of bleeding

Come and see
the oldest oak
laid out on the lawn
One disease it all it took
to call the spade and saw
And when the people say
“All is equal! Everyone is flawed!”
(Say that all you want)
What they mean is: “Well,
I’ve made my peace
(there is no peace)
with all I could not stop.”
(just lightning in the dark)

But God
It’s not
I’m not
