Every aching bone inside my body says you exist
Every cut and open wound says that you persist
Are you the neglecting parent as your kid
Wreaks terror in the sandbox, so apathetic?
You want me to celebrate all your glory?
Your kingdom comes too late
You want me to tell them all about your story?
But your hands are too bloodstained
Is it so wrong
To be sad, scared, and cold?
‘Cause I’m so blessed,
But what about the rest?
Should I just shield my eyes from this injustice?
Or is the sky gonna fall down on me too now?
Devise ways to validate that masterplan now
‘Cause lives slip through our minds but I don’t know how
Lie that it’s up to the divine but not ourselves now
‘Cause lives slip through our minds and King Ghost has no sympathy
For clasped hands but bootstraps clean
You want me to celebrate all your glory?
First we must set our own fates
You want me to tell them all about your story?
Can’t decide if you’re here to stay
You want me to celebrate all your glory?
There’s a spark waiting to be set ablaze
You want me to tell them all about your story?
Absent: You Us: A trace

The Disconnect
02:53

Results and pills dropped on the floor
Hubris and slammed doors
Tears over last minute dinner
One angel, three sinners
The divide is solidified
Can I mask my disconnection?
Insatiable by all accounts
I can’t bear to look you in the eyes
Stack the dishes higher
Blank stare at the pile
Scrub off the grime
Or let it sit and harden
I’ll let it sit
There’s no urgency
Can I mask my disconnection?
Insatiable by all accounts
I can’t bear to look you in the eyes
Lord I see it now, the art of killing time
Routine degrades the feeling of being alive
My heart is tone deaf to your helpless cries
There’s a hole in my existence
And I’m going to spend my entire life trying to cover it up
Only to forget that it’s there
And fall in
