[hometext] => so count this slammed door as the last one in our cathedral. i've left you kneeling at the confessional. Only God has ears enough to listen as you say, 'I knew all along, i didn't love her'. oh secrets, i knew all along that you are a liar.~weepingprophet
[bodytext] => quietly we echo chipped paint a symbol of our peeling love cheap the walls resound with our pleas to each other to some god some one but where have you gone in this cathedral barefoot and aching racing through the halls slamming doors peering into mirrors all frail and empty your impoverished eyes steady and waiting perched for the cue exalt this peeling love of cheap paint and sterile halls our stained glass windows sing they plead for the frailty to surrender it's been years locked in this cathedral shrines for you candles lit and smothered by the stench of cheap and rotting paint the front doors open holy no light comes from within barefeet stumble desperate to feel anything but those hardwood and concrete floors racing upright away from the wreckage i can hear you sobbing kneeled at the confessional saying you knew all along you knew all along that you didn't love me rituals are so subtle in their lies so easy and quiet in tripping the truth but the fall echos it is remembered by every stained glass window every figurine of holiness and every shallow doorway i have picked myself up quietly ran through these sacred halls of us and our cheap affection our gentle absence of remembering to tell each other that love is a symbol so count this slammed door as the last one in our cathedral i've left you kneeling at the confessional only God has ears enough to listen as you say, " i knew all along, i didn't love her." Oh secrets, I knew all along that you are a liar.
