First Prayer

In the prayer
Can't seem to find the right words
But we stretch our dead arms for salvation
The foundation and the chemical need
Discordance put a veil over my creed

Sweet my fever now
Embraced by its tainted wings
Cup my hands and taste the spite
Immune to the truths you told

In the wake
Reverence is my every move
The wretched stars aligned
For dead wisdom, the apparition
Rise with my every breath
Grasping for the one who lie beneath

You leave now
Leave my void of prayers
Take these words to go with you
Take the splinters see them fall

Idle stare
Who will come forth from the dry wind
And find my blood and clothes and rust
Cleaned the past like water through stone
Earth did cast a shade over my sleep

Sweet my fever now
Embraced by its tainted wings
Cup my hands and taste the spite
Immune to the truths you told

You leave now
Leave my void of prayers
Take these words to go with you
Take the splinters see them fall, fall

You leave now
Leave my void of prayers
Take these words to go with you
Take the splinters see them fall, fall
