Dead Gods |
| I am deep in the valley |
| I am covered in the shadow |
| I am wallowing in the death |
| And I reach out for You |
| I cry out for You |
| And I hear a voice inside my head |
| That sounds like me |
| And I try to reconcile |
| Rationalize with apologetics |
| In battle against my better judgment |
| Spinning the wheels of my theology |
| To deflect the answers of questions |
| I’m too afraid to ask |
| What am I to do with this? |
| Such a cognitive dissonance |
| If the truth is really what I seek |
| Then why is this so threatening? |
| My savior so real and powerful |
| Reduced to a name in a gallery |
| My god so mighty and tall |
| Was it ever even You at all? |
| My rock |
| Falling apart |
| Without You |
| What is my truth? |
| I have been striving so long to emulate Your spirit |
| Why has my greatest moral conviction come in the form of denying You? |
| The damage I have wrought I cannot erase |
| But if I seek to move forward in any sort of truth |
| I cannot move with You |
| This is where I must decide |
| Do I pursue what is holy? |
| Or do I fight for what is just |
| Here in the terror of awareness |
| I see the true direction of the path I claim to walk |
| The destination now clouded in the most lucid of fog |
| I squint my eyes to try and make out Your shape |
| I’m searching for any remnants of You |
| Tracing shadows in my mind’s eye |
| Losing Your silhouette with every detail made clear around me |
| I thought that it was You who found me in the dark |
| But now as I fumble through that same darkness |
| I feel the cracks in the land |
| But I cannot find Your hand |
| I know where this goes |
| I have always known |
| My perpetual fear |
| Now inescapable as I turn my mind south of what is sacred |
| Every point I obfuscated now cornering me against a painfully concrete wall |
| I would reject the upper hand if I could |
| But I can’t escape the truth |
| Since I could form words |
| The only words I knew to form were in exaltation of my gods |
| Gods of capital, gods of patriots, gods of the status quo |
| I saw their flags as the Shroud of Turin |
| I embedded them within my skin |
| I knew that voice in my head was You |
| I knew the bones in the mountains were proof |
| I’m crying out to you louder than ever before |
| GOD PLEASE SPEAK TO ME |
| I am left with an echo and a moment to process |
| This is it |
| This is it |
| This is it |
| To step forward is to step alone |
| The return is denial |
| There is no compromise |
| Here |
| Now |
| My gods die |
