No response, nothing to light the way Teach them young how to count their days A spirit born only to sit on the shelf Keep your blessings to yourself You don't speak, you don't reach You don't listen to a word they say Strike a match, step back, and watch it burn So fucking beyond the point of no return Put under dirt while the blood's still warm A new stage of grief A new stage of grief Just drops of water in the well Devotion wanders while it takes its form A state of disbelief A state of disbelief Told to keep your blessings to yourself Another loss skipped over Undertaker of grace Can't afford another risk of exposure Ashamed of what it creates Hope is sentenced to stay alive with the rest of us Witness the same as me, settle amongst the dust Prayer after prayer after prayer after prayer Begging: Save me Save me Save me Save me Save me Save me Save me Collecting bodies to add to your throne Decline defines the reasons why we were left on our own I've burned my way through Heaven To find God, to stare at Him face-to-face Only once again to hear Him say No Put under dirt while the blood's still warm A new stage of grief Grief Devotion wanders while it takes its form A state of disbelief Disbelief Keep your blessings Keep your blessings Keep your blessings
