#molotovs
You were jazz In the static The cigarette I didn’t know I lit I'm in the bar brawls the graffiti prayers On alley walls That say “God might be dead but I met someone who made me believe again” I’m not a god of “yes” I’m a god of "show me" Show me the art in your brokenness Show me the poetry in your fists Make a religion out of surviving the things I threw at you just to see if you’d flinch I ain’t the god you pray to when the gun is already cocked I’m the one who built the trigger I’m the ******* Who lit stars like molotovs tossed into The dark Just to see what would catch fire Don’t ask me why bad things happen Ask yourself why you survive them you forget The first temple was a fistfight The first prayer was a screaming plea The first miracle was any of it happening at all I don’t do sermons I do scale I made a universe so big that you’d always feel lost in it Because the moment you are lost you start looking I didn’t make it big so nothing would matter I made it big so you’d stop pretending it does Welcome to scale You’re not small because the universe is big You’re just used to being told where the walls are You want the universe to love you back But it just isn’t built for that It’s built to go on Not heaven No reward Just this A moment where you knew you were alive And it didn’t last because it didn’t have to
