Lord, this is my best method of communication
I cannot focus in tongue as I’m growing numb
Is this Your test or evil at its best?
These words, Lord, they fall upon deaf ears
The thoughts are clear, but these letters always seem to disappear
When she’ s near, You know who, as to no clue
But her name and Your name are heard in vain
Trials were designed to shun my shine
At times, but always gives me lines to climb
Gray lines are seen as silver-platter ladders
Heavy steel is fatter and chrome roams to the splatter
Blood on these streets
Blood on these hands
Mud on these sheets
You wont’ understand
Deals are under hand
Night-night, night – I gave you my bowl
The stories are old, but you know what was foretold
The beats cease when it’s time to clean the ducts of defeat
Suggest and action and I will partake
Send me a sign so I know that You care
I know You do, but my naturalism needs a reminder
I was forced to disfigure the solitudes in confinement
A prayer can be heard from the quietest of voices
We’re given choices to help guide us to Your appointment
You know what I mean
Once more, folding of knee
I still beg for a better day, just show me the way
I’d do as You say, but please, may the love stay?
Okay, this is my conclusion
I’ll follow the light; always winning and never losing
I take your wings, green dragonfly
To greener grasses, we fly

Ah, yes, taking her name in vain!
Still one listens, but the other one’s gone.
Do you hear the clear wings as your answer?
