Preach To Me
Preach to me
I know you've got bible verses engraved
in your lips
words slipping from your tongue
like raindrops on glass
hands slipping from a strong grasp
A moment of perceivable fear
and you gasp
don't worry
there's someone to break the fall
Maybe there's pleasure in knowing
nothing at all
free falling
so blinding you can't even see
that someone's there
waiting
No watches on their wrists
they've got good times in the
embodiment of holiness which is them
the seemingly perfect
one without sin
And you cut them like weeds
with intentions to lessen the infestation
just for a flower
white and delicate
No amount of caution can stop this
I will fall
and when I fall
I will fall into grace
into arms that do not know hate
I will look into a face that knows
the miracles of faith
So preach to me
preach to me
Cuz' I know you've got bible verses
engraved in your lips
forgiveness written over my sins
Transparent hope rushing to my fingertips
trying to savor and cherish this
This?
What is this?
I don't know
and I don't want to
Because even though existence is pain
we remain existing
and that counts for something
something like the right words slipping
to heal
