breathless sons of god

All you breathless sons of God
Can’t you control your thoughts?
All those lessons that you taught
Were more like bombs you dropped.

If it’s a crime you need
Look no further than your mind, you see
Your dark thoughts are wrapped in Holiness,
But their dull glow is pensive yet.

And now I’m praying for shelter from you
And all the double-speaking that you do.
It all comes down to righteousness
But what you have adds up to even less.

Your whole life has been a falsehood
You stood your ground because you were told you should
You don’t pour money in the offering plate
You keep your share behind a bolted gate.

I heard about your fantasy
Where you live not one life but three
A constant pull of give and take
And what’s sad is it’s reality

You speak of putting yourself on that cross
To ease the world’s suffering and loss
But you have no idea what that act contains
Besides you’re not strong enough to hold the reins.
