lyrics

We found peace from thoughts
that have outgrown us.
Smearing ashes on atoning hands.
We’ve feigned psalms of our postured adoration
Our hands cleansed through the blood of salvation.

You were the only one for me
My father, my king.
The apparition of a savior
& everything I believed.

Like a flare from your mourning star
Became the words that filled my mouth
I did this for you, didn't I do this for you
Was the light shown not bright enough

All those things you said, every word you bled
swear to god, was the good for us
But you had to know, you had to know
I'll be frozen in time by this destiny

We are the faithless patriarchs
Doomed to live beneath the snow

Faithless patriarchs
on this holy ground.
It holds no meaning for me now.
With no king to be crowned,
We hung upside down
For the sins that were chosen.

canyons we carved from this
are monuments we left
For you to bow.
Testaments to the pyres we burned.
And the rivers we crossed
For this destined purpose.

Oh my god, please take this cup
Take this cup from my lips.
Oh my god, the blood you spilled
You never spilled for me.
Oh my god, cut out my tongue
I can’t command your ships
Oh my god, the prayers you spoke
Left me an amputee.

(Is there a permanent love
for all the temporary things?)

Dear brother, dear sister,
He stole my joy from me.
Dear mother, dear father,
Am I good enough for you?
