retaliation rises through deadly desperation

every indignant flaw you thought to cause surges forward

like fresh fruit from the sacred garden

you watch adam beg for a pardon

temptation to flee stopped by insecurity

“too young to know what resentment can do?”

so hope became hopeless, naked and new

yet I recognise it in you, tried and true

if i didn’t know war,

would i still die in battle?

the shadows cast their mark

herd us like cattle

but given the chance

to make it all better

id look hell in the eye

and scream for surrender

the product of a lyre

is something to dissect

could the sound alone

abdicate death?

or is it what’s behind the tone

that throws death from his throne?

dilute the walls of hell

with your melodious spell

one of three to make the feat

golds are cold but love nest deep

no casual voice of mercy

no more immunity

perverse my way to comfort

think back on what you told me

magic eight ball told your downfall

you could’ve been around more.

big estate, silver plate, people all au fait.

passion and praise as he rose from the grave

now a man holds a bible and i begin to pray

walk on water, turn that into wine

i sip on a beer; a new mans approval in mind

the story’s they told, all bathed in gold

the minds that he seizes, do as he pleases

i seeked your approval, for what you seemed frugal.

reanimate my mind like a stolen lullaby

my crack of solitude broken on the rise of altitude

lift my body through the sky

speak the truth, find the lie

your sweetened tongue, my body numb

incite your light

bleed my mind

my thoughts

my lines

raise your bets, this isn’t done

wake and see the mourning sun

when your name is hollow and graved

i’ll lay a daisy by your name

etch your marvel into stone

for all empty eyes to gaze

share your grace,

on dishonourable saturdays.

lie awake, give you space

let the clock tick away
