TempleTooth
i really ought to thank you
for hurting me that way
now my eyes are opened wide again
even after i had closed them
in the momentary agony
of my enlightenment
i was praying in the temple above the restaurant
i was saying i was sorry for all the things I wanted
in the silence how the incense burned like snakes in the air
and i was waiting for the perfect moment to disappear
i was genuine in my genuflection
you were benevolent in your reflection
as i rose to embrace the grace of you
that.s when i fell and broke my face for you
in the darkness of the city there's a fog rising up from the bay
and i will stumble bright and bloody down the stairway
and i will follow as i swallow all my arrogance
sweet redemption as she leads me from my recompense
