Blessed

That was the last time
Beneath that scarlet sky
When manmade comets made the earth vomit fire
The air smelled of cigarettes
And crackled like the static of old cassettes
The houses had been sleeping just prior
Dark and starless, new catharsis
Sudden sharpness, where’s your conscience
Tear my heart out from the hole in my chest
Warped and twisted, they persisted
And do we still believe they know what’s best…
Does anyone feel blessed?
Cold as glass, white as bone
Pinpricks in the great unknown
Are hidden behind charcoal clouds
Bombs are weightless
Fatal, faceless
And when they fall, they hardly make a sound
Dark and starless, new catharsis
Sudden sharpness, where’s your conscience
Tear my heart out from the hole in my chest
Warped and twisted, they persisted
And do we still believe they know what’s best…
