I tried telling them
but they wouldn't listen and they wouldn't take it
Despite your wings faltering before their eyes, every single feather shining
and as they were singing oh glory, oh glory
to all their false idols
I tried telling them
but they wouldn't listen and they wouldn't take it
Despite the light coming off your hands, every single touch warming
feasting on the blood of their lord
and eating their whispers
I tried telling them
I tried turning their eyes inward
to where the rot flows and the wounds burn
but they wouldn't take it
and they were never any good at listening
I tried telling them
I was carving my words with bricks
I tried telling them
As you came crashing down
I tried telling them
I was watching with my heart open and my mouth shut
From all the rot and the wounds
stitched onto my heart
