Love God (part 2)
Pages flapping in the master's garden
Last disciples left the morning train
Semi-Jinn still hoping for a pardon
From the master, sitting silent before the rain
All the promises muttered
All the governments guttered
All kidding aside,
it's never enough just to have tried
Love God,
I did all your man demanded
Love God,
I did all your man demanded
Love God,
I did all your man demanded

I Fell
The stars she'd saved for seven years to buy a ticket out
were glued to my face for silver tears. She kissed me on the mouth,
and I fell.
I fell back into the snow.
I fell
I fell so slowly that time didn't know.
Drown me in crimson
Drown me in gold
Call my crazy body back in from the cold
Walk my spine with gilded fingers
until you reach the crown
Tuck me in the folds of the gleaming curtains
that make up your wedding gown
When the day burned down to pilot light,
I turned around to face the projector.
Saw a little glass square, some cigar smoke in there, but no one I could call my protector.
And I fell
I fell
I fell
back in the snow
Drown me in crimson
Drown me in gold
Call my crazy body back in from the cold
Walk my spine with gilded fingers
until you reach the crown
Tuck me in the folds of the gleaming curtains
that make up your wedding gown

Love God (part 1)
Believe all you want—
We are out of here, we are gone
At 18 you should not be afraid to love
at 21 you should not be for sale (yet)
at 25 there should be more than 3 choices;
the streets, the shelter, or jail
Believe
Leave
Let us in
Love God
I did all that your man demanded
I did all that your man demanded
I did all that your man demanded
There are many places with nothing to offer,
but here— it's kept so neatly stacked
(Let us in)
And there are many of us willing to suffer
for those who think it's all an act
I can't cast a shadow anymore,
Love God— where is your light?
Love God, it never reaches me anymore
Love God
Leave all you want
We are out of here
Believe all you want—
We are out of here, we are gone
Towers, open fire!
