Crawling Names

Chain smoking nightmares Front porch, sat in the cold They are all unawares (that) I'm never growing old So much on my mind Each day more piles by Answers I can't find All telling me to die God, is this your love for us? Down here on this ball called Earth? Bones all down in the drainage Skin all in the dirt What? Is this our fate? To rust? Hollowed be thy longest reign Yet, we go from dust to dust Shrowded, no face behind your name The love material We see it all go up Nothing ethereal About that worldly junk And yet through all of this They say you're still designing You cannot justify this pain With a silver lining For it is all we know Earth's joy is temporary And it always feels as though These prayers... are just as momentary God, is this your love for us? Down here on this ball called Earth? Bones all down in the drainage Skin all in the dirt What? Is this our fate? To rust? Hollowed be thy longest reign Yet, we go from dust to dust Shrowded, no face behind your name
