Faithless

The break up song.

In my bed, my dread covers my soul like a sheet

Defeated, I stand still completed, but hell, I’m beat

I’ve seen thru the eyes unclouded by hate

Feels like I’m walking on water, or parting the waves

And now a frown brings me down to a mountain of faith

She’s at the top, and I’m at the base

I got no path in the grass that would lead me to peace

Just an uncharted jungle, with no perception of East

So I deceive my redemption, and travel backward for hope

Faith is not my place, I’m not that near sighted or broken

My mind is stoked for a new road to appear

Now with my eyes on a horizon, the mountain is smeared

Blurred out of my vision, the destination means less

Than the journey, and though I’m hurting, it’s all for the best

I told myself I’d never jest with my emotions inside

So I stand tall thru it all, holding onto reason and pride

 

In my head, my first thread of thoughts is of this girl

The eyes, the hair, the skin, the idea of our world

Sensory memories help me realize that it’s dead

Though where I lay, I swear, her scent stays on my bed

The pretty pink lips, stain the skin on my face

It burns so sweet, some times, it’s almost worth the chase

But now I find that all this time it was just against the code

That life is unlike any video game mode

There is no survival to try and hold out as long as you can

There’s no free hearts when you’re down and need a helping hand

And though there are many locations that you would want for your start

Unfortunately there is no armor here sold for your heart

I’m smart enough to tear apart any foe that approaches

I got enough heart to smoke blunts down to roaches

I’m as sharp as dart and still far from boasting

Just a work-of-f*****g-art that requires a toast to it

 

In my soul I look for holes that would make me imperfect

I just find light that shines that leaves me perplexed, and yet

My mind and my head and my soul don’t speak

No chatter to the latter, just a moment to breath

A moment to think with my soul, and see with my mind

Be with my body, and stay undefined

And never collapse, or be distracted by faith

My goal is in my soul, and I need to keep it safe

Never be fooled by beliefs that offer a sum

To a problem you never harbored or expected to come

So stay on your knees while you pray for yourself

Because I believe when I need it I will be given my help

And if that is not a necessity, then blessed be Earth

I’m bound thru the ground mimicking the sound of your worth

My church is this dirt in which I see my beginning and end

My prayer was answered then recanted, so f**k it. Amen
