White Crosses

Half my life’s devotion
Went to a Holy Ghost.
At fifteen years I felt the motion,
Took my soul and I left the Host.
Why can’t I believe in what I feel,
Is that not enough?
Terrified, a child confronting hell;
Therein lies the gulf.
Why can’t I believe them, why can’t we all belong?
Why must I receive them, the white crosses on my door?
Eyes exuding pain, unrequited love
Hanging from a cross.
The summer sun relinquishes my fear of death,
And I think of God.
You tell me, ‘Defiance’, and I know
Because I have a heart.
Still, I want to feel a part of something else,
Sacrificial love.
Why can’t I believe them, why can’t we all belong?
Why must I deceive them, the white crosses on my door?
Your bleeding… heart.
Conceiving, we’ll never part.
Congealing, I feel it start.
Their bleeding, their bleeding hearts.
The insanity built up in a morality;
The insanity of what could be a lie.

Sunny days, go away – the rain will hide this sullen face; don’t blame it all on me if you’re feeling cold. The pensive mind, preoccupied, giving up on looking for the gold in mines – too many times, I’ve played the roles. They hate our kind, the losing tribe – hidden messages are playing on the radio. The reasons that I walked on by – for too many ages, now, we haven’t had nowhere to go. They hate our kind, we don’t have time; turning over cheeks and waiting for the wind to blow. The lost tribe, distraught kinds… The memories, in diaries – black ribbons, tucked beneath the bed; I remember one bright moment, it went dead – now that age has seized me. The agonies, frivolities, casting off hate – let it die alone. I’m trying hard these days at blending in. They hate our kind, the losing tribe – hidden messages are playing on the radio. The reasons that I walked on by – for too many ages, now, we haven’t had nowhere to go. They hate our kind, we don’t have time; turning over cheeks and waiting for the wind to blow. The lost tribe, distraught kinds… This time, the moment will pass. They hate our kind, the losing tribe – hidden messages are playing on the radio. The reasons that I walked on by – for too many ages, now, we haven’t had nowhere to go. They hate our kind, we don’t have time; turning over cheeks and waiting for the wind to blow. The lost tribe, distraught kinds… Views from below.

Don’t call it giving, this isn't living.
The world is spinning.
Forever. Forever. Forever...
Innocence, we’re falling in love, again.
I know we've been here before, I recognize this shoreline.
Off to war, we’re falling in line again.
I know we've been here before, my brother’s dying.
A car has been left on the road,
A sunset of rust and petrol. The feeling’s been mutual
I know, but, the dogs had their day and they've flown on;
Over sand dunes devoid of gulls,
A silent spring, no amphibian calls.
Into the wastelands, into the earth, we’ll fall.
Innocence, we’re falling in love, again.
I know we've been here before, I recognize this shoreline.
Off to war, we’re falling in line, again.
I know we've been here before, my brother’s dying.
The footsteps bound of a child, neotenous and divine.
So innocent are his eyes, so oblivious to desire;
He’ll exempt himself from his time, ‘til he overgrows the divide;
Still, he only has so much time, to stand still.
Innocence, we’re falling in love, again.
I know we've been here before, I recognize this shoreline.
Off to war, we’re falling in line, again.
I know we've been here before, my brother’s dying.

Its exquisite sense of order parallels that of a physical theory. Science is the organization of our knowledge in such a way as to command more of nature's hidden potential. Likewise do these notes command our coldbeats in step with our heartbeats.
