Sacrilege

To the plastic priestess with the brightest eyes

Her hands raised high inside a modest disguise

While she worships her semantics, frantic for a throne room in the skies

She’ll talk of grace, but look her in the face and you’ll find no second tries


To the sons of study who teach youths how to talk

Raise them up right to be children of a gilded cross

Put shoes of good news on their feet, but with little room to walk

Can the good news get through when all the words of love are lost


Anyway, drunk Jesus and some hungry whores

Are knocking humbly at your mansion doors

But I know these castle walls can hold out the poor

‘Cause really their kingdom was never good enough for yours


So judge me all you like and i’ll try not to judge you

When even the slightest hint of brokenness, you never could much see through

Judge me all you like, ‘cause i’ve no right to judge you

Truth is i’m incredibly broken, and my guess is: so are you
