Book of Names

When I was sick

The blind looked down through their noles to me

When I a stranger

Had turned back at the foot of your wall between

I was naked, faceless, shame became my chains

You deserve to let me rot

You replaced me with tall trees

The privacy that you sought

Well I was the cause

A book of names

But every page is empty

A neighbourhood lacking other faces

I'd rather be left behind

You can go to Heaven on your own

But wouldn't it be Hell inside the gates all alone

All alone

You can go to Heaven on your own

But wouldn't it be Hell inside the gates all alone

If God looks like you then I'd rather be left behind

Did you depart from me set anchor

And walk alone down the narrow sea

Stepping to shores piously removed from my incessant floorboard

Do you dream your chest could fail?

The long awaited last exhale

So you might climb

Become the vine of sin

24, and a half score away from me

How intellectually we shrunk God to fit my needs

Slowly it occurs to me amidst this blissful apostasy

I'm less ensnared by heresy than the trenches I dug between them and me

A book of names

But every page is empty

A neighbourhood lacking other faces

I'd rather be left behind

You can go to Heaven on your own

But wouldn't it be Hell inside the gates all alone

All alone

You can go to Heaven on your own

But wouldn't it be Hell inside the gates all alone

If God looks like you then I'd rather be left

Amazing Grace

How sweet the sound of silence

Where you prepare the home

Just to lock the doors and

Throw the key away

You can go to Heaven on your own

But wouldn't it be Hell inside the gates all alone

All alone

You can go to heaven on your own

But wouldn't it be hell inside the gates all alone

If God looks like you then I'd rather be left behind
