(A) Crucifix

Am I the kneeler or display

When will you make it clear

What role am I to play

I want to rise from the dirt

Stuck in this secret place

A dreamer is forsaken without a risk to take

Take me down

I shouldn’t be flying high

You’re convincing

In my mind we are more than just a prophecy(a prophecy)

For our sorrows may change us

What we expect

Versus what they presume

You may see a worshiper

But I feel a sacrifice

Time is damning

It’s working against us

Keep pushing against the dirt-keep pushing

All that weighs me down is hidden

All the mud is smothering my skin

Keep falling and faulter

I must keep this space

I must keep this space

Our secrets and sorrow

I must keep this safe

I must keep this safe

Our burdens are ponderous

I must keep with weight

I must keep this weight

Please forgive me

I’ve forgotten

What brought us to this place

A shattered dream

That I’ve conjured

By mistaking night for day

Keep dreaming as I’m waking I’m begging to stay

Don’t fault me for wishing to remain in this way

I won’t return to the mud it suffocates my true intentions

Dreamers are forsaken

In the night as my dreams deceive me

I’m trying to convince myself

When I wake all the praying will save me

From an erroneous double life

We are defined by our worst moments

So wear your burdens with pride

Bare the gravity of your actions

We’ll make mistakes but keep going supporting the weight

I must keep this space

I must keep this safe

I must keep this weight

Can we stand the test of time with these confessions in the back of our minds

Give me the answers

Give me the answers

Give me the answers
