The Passion Lyrics by Graham Smith

Accept the Mystery

2010

All the times I said I’d love you more than I had ever lied
I lied to save my mottled hide so I’ll vomit up my swallowed pride
Seek, question faith, guess who’ll be the next to break
Oh, me, wait, test the cake
If it’s poison, lick the plate
The line forms here
Just around the corner lies the great beyond
You hide your fear behind a cyanide-soaked spear and magic wand
Poof! Just across the border, I am near
In this room I see anger, death, and doom
Ordinary flesh consumed
And I saw a man as clear as night and day
Two posts of light repeating motets out of time
And shrieking, oh the sight
But see, he weren’t speakin’ English
It were gibberish or some Portugese-based pidgin
Or some of that old time religion and it weren’t no vision
The buck stops here
Not two days ago, you had me by the ear
And dragged me clear across the thoroughfare
Oho, ain’t it so typical
Like everything, it’s political
One voice remains breaking character
And framing innocence with passion’s flame
But you just play the game so things stay the same
Maybe someday you’ll break the chain
Baby, wait, we all make mistakes
May I just say, “So what?”
You know I just go through the motions
But hold up, you know how we blow through emotions
Like Nutella in the cupboard
It’s just who yells louder and what for
Is this love, or some other emotion?
