prayers to the new gods 

i send my prayers through many hearts

i’m Your midnight apostle 

worshiping any fossil of Your advent 

deck a log with every scripture spoken

scratched in stone

i gashed a home in Your gospel 

Your revelation’s my genesis

my very being a celebration of Your brilliance 

a separation of six degrees could never daunt me 

i pitch churches, and tents for You

o New Gods, so immaculate  

so accurate with painting my emotions 

i view myself on Your canvas

for fifteen seconds i’ll give You everything 

please just sing my name and recite that You love me

You’re so above me 

until i find a speck 

a new age Mind Flayer

caged inside a city with clothes 

I tear apart any layer 

you’re finally exposed!

bare for the world to see

casted stones shatter your glass frame

I have to break you down just to make you Mine

desecrated your altars, consecrations are altered 

your declarations falter and it makes Me sneer

your eyes tear, a Devil’s jeer

a Cherub turned away from Their father 

look what you’ve made Me

for fifteen seconds you were holy 

what was once an angel’s now an icarus 

your wings melt, My eyes freeze

nobody’s ever freed from My wickedness 

it’s a blast for Me, sack religious doctrines 

your castle crumbles, My cult strengthens 

your shadow lengthens, insults tumble 

who are you without the people’s faith?

christened in the tears shed 

i drown alone in my room like a type of atonement 

searching for god in my screen at night

gutting the glass like i’m reaping it as a sacrifice

never able, i get the cane

doomed to the land of gnawed 

building cities to still my woe

feel i throw dust to blind myself

yielding pities to fill my lows

the filter glows, forgo my tools

seeking any message 

i attempt to wean from my phone’s bosom  

the only sport that distracts me from my thoughts  

late nights wondering if i’m alive 

i always want others to care for me

when i don’t even care for myself 

i always want people to talk to me 

when i’m scared of conversation 

finally i stumble upon a channel or account 

and i kneel to their stature

to express my gratitude 

i send my prayers through many hearts
