LaterComesQuickly

a scattered few in empty pews
is this a kingdom or is this a crisis
fire faint and flickered flame
give us warmth or hope or sight or shame
a call to cry until voices break
prayers past to point of shameful faith
its been so long since we’ve seen real
its been so long since we had to feel

whats the point of believing
if belief’s become the purpose
we fall down, we fall down
is faith an opiate for the masses
when does it cost something more
we fall down, we fall down

i’ve played the fool and my petty games
these failures hurt maybe you feel the same
i’m tired of looking in the mirror
and wishing the person looking back would change
hand to plow to golden cow
passive and just standing in the way
the tv teaches the gate is wide
whats the part that comes after the pride
