pictures of patron saints hung high up on my wall crosses and statues that look down on me prayers and praises worshipful hymns and a gospel quotes that shouts loud in my head
all this idols that captures the image of holy deeds to remind me that i am nothing short of a fool tell me where i came from, what i will always be tell me where my soul will end up will it still be in peace
when i am deceased and buried i won’t join their ranks because they are both holy, wise and free as the the wind that’s how it’ll be in the end of my long hard trip just a small lost child who went to a catholic school
grand churches and bell towers that roar in the air like thunder that clashes to call us all to prayer wolves in sheep clothing join the gathering flock not even the shepherd knows who's the devil or not
so i said make me love myself so that i might love you don’t make me a liar to say what you think should be true Jesus said come to me my son and let me carry your cross but i said its fine for we both carry the same scars
the Shepard and his flock come to me with blessed chains wearing false cloaks and hiding their true faces i feel the binds of the cold chains strangle my neck making me bark and howl out their holy sacred hymns
