Uncreated Light

I didn't know that was still a thing they do Our lampstand was just removed We spilled our oil Like ink into an inky sea And when we burned it on the waves You danced on a distant flame The one we were made to enthrone We all need to hear some hard things sometimes And this one, hits hardest We thought we could walk By the light we made 'Til we got lost in our own heads And the light in us was darkness In our caricature, we drew Your features based on our own truth Our logos in the sponsored section Of the program and the script we put you through And when we hung it on the wall It clashed with nothing at all We forgot your mouth is drawn like a sword 'Cause we all need to hear some hard things sometimes And this one still hits hardest We thought we could walk By the light we made 'Til we got lost in our own heads And the light in us was darkness Lest we forget, no creature is hidden Lest we forget, we're all patients at your table Lest we forget, you already see our true conditions In ways we've never been able So give us sight Lest the light in us be darkness We all need to hear some hard things sometimes And this one still hits hardest We thought we could walk By the light we made 'Til we got lost in our heads When the light in us was darkness When the light in us Oh, the light in us I'm nearly Dylanesque in my hubris That I have something to say But am I pure in heart? That's the question So find me reclining against Your most-chaste chest I'll hear your resting cadence Bear a resemblance to Repent, repent, repent We all need to hear some hard things sometimes We all need to hear some hard things
