lyrics

You cough into Your hand from across the room. I'm drawn to You like orange to blue: the way Your hair moves. Slow but with purpose You lift mug to mouth. I catch the scars under Your knuckles and decide to step out. You resonate; my chest is like Carnegie Hall. My ribs rattle an audience as the curtains draw. I find the center of You when I speak to Your Ghost. It's the days I feel You there when I love You most. It's so quiet without You. We wrote holy texts in the indented leather, called out "Christ!" at every change in the weather. From a decorative stained glass we drank unholy water, took flesh instead of bread, nailed up in the past. It's so quiet without You. I feel like I'm in limbo, got crucifixes akimbo, exorcising all of You from red words, trying to revive Your face with dead words. Scraping sea floors for Your glory, looking for a molten handful of fury, spent time online researching: Where, O, where's my lonely savior? The Passion of my Christ ain't what I asked for. You took this too far, now we want more. Cuz all of the blood in Your holy body couldn't satisfy everybody. Now we're looking for You to kill again, cuz Jesus we love that we get to sin. I just want You here alive again, I miss You so bad I can't take it.
