inflicted

 
god I'm sad in the oleander sacredness
alterations inside me speak
Inflicted with a madness
I tremble in the hot rain
I come on strong then back off
cold comfort is my pain

come to me oh faithful
reconcile my disparity
here in the bloodied sacrifice
my soul rises higher and higher seeking rest
I search your fiery eyes for answers
burning with intensity you utter

who are you to question me?

all knowledge is in the golden kingdom
terrible and great is the Master
no one remembers terrible
expecting only the great

a cult of perfect love
perhaps but what you perceive as perfect is flawed
so i alter my thinking
receiving the bad with the good
knowing the pain was worth the knowledge gained
