The Virgin (working title)

 

TV = working title

the church of you is ringing wedding bells • everybody knows but nobody tells

engraved invitations are in the mail • keeping prisoners you had sent to jail

cans tied to the limo parked next to sidewalk rice • saying nothing was your way of being nice

the church of you takes a collection from the poor • so certain everything you know you made dam sure 

the patron saint of perpetual anxiety • migraine abandon set only one of us free 

you’re the only one who vows we’ll never speak again• the purgatory of you will always have no end

will constant worship ever be enough • will blind faith be reward when things for you get rough

everyone knows you deserve to serve me at your feast • you won’t throw back what you catch and release 

was I your Moses come to set you free • parting crowds of shoppers just so you could see

the Solomon of you ready to slice me in half • you were the David killing me just for a laugh

telling me nothing is your way of being true • you write the commandments for the church of you
