Abject Devotion Lyrics by Daniel Cave

Pith of the Earth

0

I was sent to the principal’s office
Bent on calling God names
But the priest/pastor/principal pardoned
My cynical game

Slipped in the mud
Eyes covered up
Jesus helps blind men see
You say he heals you for free
But He
Never lays his hands on me

Remember when you bought that woman coffee
From the Dunkin’ on 8th?
She quoted Paul as she kept to the garden
With shears and a spade

Busy square
Bowl cut my hair
Pariah on the street
I pick fruits from the trees
Only
Apples or pomegranates please

Admonish me
With abject devotion
Lead me down
For the lions to feast
A contender
To die in the garden
On a bench
For pagans to see

I was a boy learning about the Bible
And all its wild fantasies
There was a man; let’s call him Jesus
He said to love your enemies

But I took a gun
Shot someone’s son
Prophet’s dream or lack of faith?
Does your kiss carry weight?
Bring on death, as they say

Admonish me
With abject devotion
Lead me down
For the lions to feast
A contender
To die in the garden
On a bench
For pagans to see

For pagans to see
For pagans to see
For pagans to see
For pagans to see
