Keep Your Blessings - Intellectual

No response, nothing to light the way

Teach them young how to count their days

A spirit born only to sit on the shelf

Keep your blessings to yourself

You don't speak, you don't reach

You don't listen to a word they say

Strike a match, step back, and watch it burn

So fucking beyond the point of no return

Put under dirt while the blood's still warm

A new stage of grief

Just drops of water in the well

Devotion wanders while it takes its form

A state of disbelief

Told to keep your blessings to yourself

Another loss skipped over

Undertaker of grace

Can't afford another risk of exposure

Ashamed of what it creates

Hope is sentenced to stay alive with the rest of us

Witness the same as me, settle amongst the dust

Prayer after prayer after prayer after prayer

Begging, "Save me"

Save me

Collecting bodies to add to your throne

Decline defines the reasons why we were left on our own

I've burned my way through Heaven

To find God, to stare at Him face-to-face

Only once again to hear Him say

"No"

Put under dirt while the blood's still warm

A new stage of grief

Grief

Devotion wanders while it takes its form

A state of disbelief

Disbelief

Keep your blessings
