I saw an angel made of broken glass
Whispered secrets only I could hear
“There is a place we can be together”
Piece my skin
Give me meaning
I long for this embrace
I will find a path, with broken trinkets
Lead me to the gates
That I can’t open
I’ll gladly let this drag me under
A broken creature with no direction
Her secrets meaningless now
Through the gates is only ruin
All I want is oblivion
You want for nothing
I’d give everything
You were everything

Promises are deafening
Inside this chamber
This armour, broken and heavy
In their aura, abound with blessings
Lay bare weakness to the wolves
Can your coins stack high enough to reach ascension?
Bathe in burning light
Bare this burden
Absolution is guaranteed
Through your splendour
Aloft with shining wings you recite the messages from heaven
Does the light of Christ only shine on those clad in gold?

A Broken Palisade

Drag those rusted chains
Their scraping voices announce your presence
Your everyday imperfection offends me
Dare to lift those heavy eyelids
And gaze upon perfection
Cower in agreement,
Delay your inevitable exile,
Behind this smile is only destain,
Hold these gifts
You see through my performance
Your applause follows because you’re fucking worthless
When will your friends abandon you?
How are you seen by everyone and no one?

There are no words on these pages
There was no plan?
We have locked all the doors
And burned down the house
Sit in the ashes and scream to the heavens
No ark to ride into salvation
Turn to the ivory towers for answers
As they crumble into the oceans
All your wealth equates to nothing
All your good intentions an insult
Your indifference is an open wound
Gammorra whispers sympathy
Earth is a broken vessel
Our finite existence cut shorter
We stare longley to the stars
With arms too short to reach the gates of eden
