We All Become Our Sins (Polite)

from The Body Is Not Sacred (Complete) by Everson Poe

/

lyrics

you speak
in verse
your wisdom is your curse
you speak
in tongues
your faith has come undone
you speak
of truth
remaining resolute
you speak
of doubt
you are not whole without your gods

they take
their time
they die

i speak
reversed
my wisdom is my curse
i do
no harm
i am the withered arm
i laugh
in time
reflected on the inside
it’s in
our house
it’s up to us to get it out

we take
our time
we die

she owes no debt to any man
she has the strength to force your hand
she is the answer to our call
she is the bringer of the fall

you lack the conviction
you live in self-delusion
your fortress of hatred
will fall beneath her gaze

we all become our sins

to be human
is to suffer
