about
this song is about losing my faith in god and being angry and filling the holes he left with love and friendship.
all praise be due to Him: the blessed and infinitely powerful saint chaz, patron saint of sex and friendship. may his strength be everlasting.
lyrics
lift us up, our devotion, and paint our bodies golden. smother us in arrogance, and lift the chains off canaan's wrist.
love us all, love more than me, and love this world too small to see. your call may be deafening, but we won't know unless you speak.
lift us up, sweet cherubim, and drape my bones in amethyst to protect me from drunkenness and lift the bottle from my clenched fist.
blessed be the cross, and blessed be the gun. blessed be the father and blessed be his blood. blessed be the blood-clot he fashioned our fragile bodies from, and blessed be the cancer he sent to bring us home. blessed be the disciples, fear breeds conviction, and blessed be the apostles, silence speaks in tongues. blessed be the sickness he kissed into my bones, and blessed be the blood-clot our bodies sprang up from.
watch you now, you ophanim- the nimble feet of jesus! watch you now, you authorities- the twitching of our nimble bodies! sing along, you broken strings and groove your hips in cacophony! sing along you broken strings! sing along, you thomases until your fevers rise again! sing along you thomases!
lift up your chalices to the body, the blood, and the bones i have to move to make a fist. lift up your chalices to the father the son, and the holy spirit
you holded my heart in your robotic hands, you holded it so tight until the wires unwound and your body collapsed, and you disappeared from my sight.
you lifted me up, but i never left the ground. the floor just gave out, and i was lying there on a cloud.
i can still feel his touch in the hands of the girl that i love.
i found a new god, it's us.
i can still feel his touch in the hands of the friends that i love.
i found a new god, it's us.
