I’ve heard a hundred hours breaking from the inside
crushing a choice left far behind
i tried to understand the future
lay still across the sky
drop apart every word of regret
still i stand still as a witness to God
trapped at the table where my voice is discarded
but still I can’t forgive myself
ask for absolution to stand in the form of Christ
to be my guide into the future
when the disciples burn the candles
look towards the sky
are you every dream in my hand?
beyond every inscription from Heaven
we walk to stand still
children lost in the parade
every innocence pinned deep in value
to ascertain the turmoil written in my eyes
to glance at the table towards perfection
did I burn my prize too hard?
stories hidden with too much truth
when lies can’t be hidden in the dark
I can’t forget my mistakes
if they shine the light from heaven
will you ever listen?
