I say I am christian
but
I really just wish I was christian
to be christian is to be christ-like
and I'm as close to Christ as a boulder is close
to a cloud floating in the sky deciding
to cry for me and my hard-headed attempt
to stay on the ground
I am just an asshole trying to sit here
and stack some flat-lining words
dying to fall through to the next line
while I'm passin on any chances that come my way
I won't be an asset, I'm at least an ametuer crafter
draftin my trash, turn it into the average
bat shit crazed ballad
words dancing across the back of your beat
relax and take a seat
while I invade your brain and give you a treat
no trick, just peace
and I hope I can leave a bit of love in between
each tick of your pulse pushing life into the next
tock of the clock that stopped so long ago
we forgot we were lost
