Lyrics
God this must, must be for certain if you are here
Expressing certainty in the presence of a divine entity, possibly God.
Raise my world an ossuary staring through the gate wide-eyed
Describing a transformative experience, observing with open eyes through a wide gate.
Did you think I'd salivate and beg
Challenging expectations of submission and not willing to plead or drool for favor.
Don't sell me tones of liberation standing in a cage
Rejecting false promises of freedom while confined in a metaphorical cage.
May you find that in this sinister lapse we'll heal our sight
Hopeful that through a dark period, there will be enlightenment and healing.
Save your tears my child
Comforting someone and advising them not to cry.
Take it, hold it, keep it, know
Encouraging the possession and understanding of something important.
We choose this suffering
Acknowledging the choice to endure suffering willingly.
There they stand straining to scrutinize the sage
Observing individuals attempting to analyze the wisdom of a wise person.
String me up these soap box augers
Criticizing those who pontificate on elevated platforms, possibly self-righteous.
Seeking out the ways divined here from the citadel its claimed
Searching for insights from a claimed citadel, facing obstacles in the form of serpents.
Serpents waiting in the shadows keep us from the dream
Acknowledging the presence of hidden dangers preventing the realization of dreams.
May you find that in this sinister lapse we'll heal our sight
Reiterating the hope for healing and clarity in challenging times.
Save your tears my child
Encouraging emotional resilience, advising against shedding tears.
Take it, hold it, keep it, know
Emphasizing the importance of accepting and understanding something.
We choose this suffering
Reaffirming the deliberate choice to endure suffering.
I pushed the button and I pulled the trigger
Confessing responsibility for pressing buttons and pulling triggers, causing harm.
I killed our brothers and murdered our sisters
Admitting to harming one's own community, acknowledging fratricide and sororicide.
I am the pattern the plague and the prison
Identifying oneself as the source of destructive patterns, plagues, and imprisonments.
And I tore the wound and let it bleed.
Causing pain and allowing wounds to bleed, potentially metaphorical self-harm.
May you find that in this sinister lapse we'll heal our sight
Reiterating the hope for healing and clarity in challenging times.
Save your tears my child
Encouraging emotional resilience, advising against shedding tears.
Take it, hold it, keep it, know
Emphasizing the importance of accepting and understanding something.
We chose this suffering and we are not alone
Affirming the collective choice to endure suffering and expressing solidarity.
