Best to Burn

from God in Quotes by Sounds of Satellites

/

lyrics

A mob roams outside my home of raincoats. A light glows, but Jesus knows it’s not him. So burn your pages; make yourself some torches. Now, like a city on a hill, you burn--so gorgeous. It’s best to burn what looks different. You’ve got a tight hold on your bible. Have you read it? Because you swallow the grace gospel in your righteousness. It’s best to burn what looks different. It’s best to burn without exceptions. It’s best to burn before the questions or the answers--or any other part for that matter. I’ll make good friends with my coats. These walls are filled with asbestos because whether you see me as a pile of sticks or the business end of a single cigarette, you’ll light me up, and throw me in the pit--of hell or your stomach. And I’ll be treated as a holy extraction, a puff of smoke, or a stack of ashes, and you’ll only remember my light as refracted. Well, in your words “crooked.” So you’d kick down the walls of my walk-in and feed me some camp and scared straight doctrine, but I can’t simply be combed out and reset. And I would be “that kid”: that kid that you thought could be trusted until he trusted you with his private confession, and I’d start to look a whole lot like a pack of reds. And you’d strike a few matches because I’m what looks different.
