plastic crucifix virgin dribbled
up and down the road as pilgrimage
a bell tolls up on the next hill
floating as stained white sheets
we used to run in circles in the sunshine
gleamed as sacrifice, hidden whining
slumbered in the forest of the true cross
my feet cracked as the plains i can’t see clearly
(chorus)
and i fall victim to myself
the same warped palm tree chorus
collapse from light to shadow, sliding
from pole to pole, in and out the wound
there are no opposites just angles
take what you saw, lie to yourself
it’s just natural, just a reflection
slow spoiling in vicious heat
nude and mutilated i see as weathered palm
i fear nothing, the back roads sleep hazy
i glimpsed horror in his eyes, his words
echoing in cast off lakes of a midnight vigil
hold them back, just hold them back
i watch the cars swing in the dark
as murals sprayed on the wall turn purple
closest that i can get, dusting for prints
lord knows i tried, i lie in vice
i am the snake in slow swollen stars
my neck choked reluctant
turn the light off, the window shows me
i am blind, but i’ve seen his ashes
floating on a worn down breeze
in every silent minute, i walk dead
as he sings, until the end of time
