Eyes & Arms

Contempt for Your house Consumes me
And in this house
There is jealousy
For the living God

I am
An oblivion
To the eyes & arms that hold me

I wish I could be like you
A pocket full of nothing
And dead to the God who loves me

Agnostic apostles
Sit in my favorite positions
From the outside looking in
At the crux of a broken relationship

I don’t belong to your “kingdom of God”
I never wanted to share in your glory
We’re all just abusing the cross
And you’re all just pawns in the story

Bridge:
Like whores
Your people will crawl
All over Your robes
And sing
My name
The way
Satan would sing

Who accuses who?
Who creeps around the corners of your room?
If Lucifer knows You too
Then who accuses who?

My name is the name of your God
Why draw a line in the sand?
If there’s a difference here
You’re making demons of us
I never wanted your “Good God”

I only wanted to be loved for myself
So go and turn a blind eye
Because of you my faith won’t last long
