Keep Your Blessings

No response
Nothing to light the way
Teach them young how to count their days
A spirit born only to sit on the shelf
Keep your blessings to yourself

You don't speak
You don't reach
You don't listen to a word they say
Strike a match
Step back and watch it burn
So fucking beyond the point of no return

Put under dirt while the blood's still warm
A new stage of grief (a new stage of grief)
Just drops of water in the well
Devotion wanders while it takes its form
A state of disbelief (a state of disbelief)
Told to keep your blessings to yourself

Another loss skipped over
Undertaker of grace
Can't afford another risk of exposure
Ashamed of what it creates

Hope is sentenced
To stay alive with the rest of us
Witness the same as me
Settle amongst the dust

Prayer after prayer after prayer after prayer
Begging, "Save me"
Save me (save me)
Save me (save me)
(Save me)

Collecting bodies to add to your throne
Decline defines (the reasons) why we were left on our own

Put under dirt while the blood's still warm
A new stage of grief (cries)
Devotion wanders while it takes its form
A state of disbelief (disbelief)
Keep your blessings
Keep your blessings
Keep your blessings
