Tell yourself you're the one to lose
The last one to falter
The only soul to keep
Tell yourself you're dreaming
When the hunger never sleeps
Broken hearts cull the future mind
Behold the values of the time
Violence shines like your burning cross
Religious ferocity and abstract loss
Tell yourself you're feeling
Ideas spawn from grieving
When spite blooms
For all to glean
Shed your words and
Wash them clean
Brazen god
Come hedge your bets
And claim the penultimate
Watch my bones crack
Under the weight of dead love
Tame that wish from above
Tell me you're believing
When his midnight comes
And all fears seem real
Tell yourself you're the one to lose
The last one to falter
Broken hearts cull the future mind
Behold the values of the time
Spite blooms
For all to glean
For all to witness
For all who've seen
Shed your words and
Wash them clean
