Bad news keeps arriving
Ceaselessly reminding

Why did you stop listening to me
I've screamed, humbled my knees
My hands have beseeched the sky
Yet you still refuse to tell me why
Why nothing counteracts the end
The ache of losing another friend

I find zero solace in the promise
For Heaven doesn't mean a thing
Sullied wings, neglected strings
Haunt daily thoughts and dreams
For peace doesn't deem to cling

I'm tired of losing the ones I love

Why did you stop being reassuring
By sheltering me from inevitability
I've strained with heart and ear
But it's your voice I cannot hear
I'm sick of it only being the fear
Interfering with the atmosphere

I receive little solace from the choir
Hyms don't ease tension in the wire
Empty pews and the lost not found
Evoke bleak thoughts and sounds
Creates a sink hole in my ground

I'm so damn skeptical
I don't believe a thing

My hands have beseeched the sky
Yet you still refuse to tell me why
Cemetery flowers, the bonds that die
Line unexpected curves in the stream
My psyche can't risk caving in to belief
I've listened to sermons with heart and ear
About the sacrifice Faith's supposed to bear

I haven't learned, I'm unable to adhere

There's no comfort to be had in the pulpit
Little to no redemption, no joyous trumpet
Just corrupted crowns and polluted streams
permeating unhealthy thoughts and dreams

Ropes keep knotting
Relentlessly swinging

Broken wings, battered things
Haunt every thought and dream
For peace doesn't exist nor sing

I'm tired of my own shadowed eyes
Why did you stop granting miracles
I've reached out and spun in circles
Cold hands beseech the warm sky
Yet you still refuse to explain why
You didn't deflect hurt before it hit

Perhaps my heart's too heavy to lift
