When I want to understand
When I can't understand –
I look to you:
And know that what I'm waiting for
Won't know me
Won't have a face
I listen – you're breathing –
That's all that it takes
I'm gone – now you're ready
You're not going to understand that
I can't understand –
I won't look to you
And won't ask you
To remember: the pain
Was so raging, so great
That sometimes we laughed just to
Keep us awake
I'm gone – now you're ready
What altar could we possibly heal upon?
Nothing left to desecrate
Just let it rot
I thought it was a pool of blood, but
Then the cameras stopped
No:
There's no goal
There's no God
Break my skull rip it off
