Exegesis

This song is about doubting God is there for you when things go to Hell. Whenever something terrible happens, you tend to question what God intended in it, and if he's even there at all.

Oh my God... Why have you abandoned me?

 

Sick blackened roses upon my last steps

Crumbling features where I have last slept

Have I gained a power I cannot feel?

A burning agnostic to kill and steal?

 

Lanterns burning with nothing but morbid soaked souls

Constantly beating to the isolate woes

Even with heat streaming, I feel so cold

the lanterns don't give, they just steal what's controlled

 

I really don't follow the lines I am drawing

But everyone watching me knows I am trying

Trying hard not to read between spaces I hide

Secrets forgotten are gated, condemned inside

 

Saccharine words into pernicious lies

Angels feel shame, and the demons cry.

They say you watch me all the time,

Yet I don't have any alibi.

 

Oh my God... Why have you abandoned me?

 

No one can watch when they too are hollow

So dull inside they have no choice but to follow

The guardian angels as empty as I

May give up their wings and fall prey to the night

 

Bodies are piled from the point of one mare

the only one damned enough to not even care

It carries all other's misfortune

Hopes to find solitude where pain's just begun

 

I really don't follow the lines I am drawing

But everyone watching me knows I am trying

Trying hard not to read between spaces I hide

Secrets forgotten are gated, condemned inside

 

Oh my God... Why have you abandoned me?

Am I destined to never be free?

 

It was allowed to give into the sights

The cavernous hole that we call outside

Where no one can live without something foretelling

That they will not see past the next days that are coming

Fire will give us the warmth that we needed

But will slowly die out unless we can feed it

Throw in your shells, we don't need a heathen habit

There's light in the flames, we just have to get it

 

We can burn away happy

Before hells lights can turn off

We may never feel anything

But now we've had enough

There is peace in this silence

this blank, ash riddled air

That's smothered our impotence

But now we no longer care

 

Looking at broken memories

Crumbling in the dirt.

Dusting off the cretins whom plead

For the pleasure to watch me hurt

 

Your broken soul is ancient,

All the cracks reveal no love

Heaven hears you cry and whisper

There's no assistance up above

 

Oh my God... why have you abandoned me?

Am I destined to never be free?

Why have you abandoned me?

Author's Note

Exegesis means to question the holy text, that's where I got the title.
