Blessed, Alone - The Body

For these things I weep

A lifetime of kneeling

Beg and plead

To burn down every part, of every life

There’s no living beauty

Pain and sorrow live side by side

In unending night

Heavy mourning

They won’t cry for us

They won’t cry for us

At this place

No hope

Why can’t it survive

No comfort

To soften the blow

Has hollowed the heart

Has calloused the hands

Has vowed the decline

Has ushered the collapse

Has confirmed the loss
