SUFFERING IN SILENCE

Yeah
Heard him knocking on the door at four on the floor
Said he want to make a vegan out of carnivore
Asking what the prince of peace know 'bout the art of war
Patiently he said he'd teach me what the heart is for
Doubt it comes in different seasons like the eastern shore
Suffering might be a need we didn't bargain for
Got me thinking what would Jesus need a martyr for

Homie said I was a beacon in a past life
He don't see the irony in what he just said
Sometimes I hear a little whisper in a sunset
Just a little ray of hope he ain't done yet
Love the Hill song but we don't let it confess
Love the Hymn dog but we don't let it come clean
If he hold a Bible will it let the dumb keen
Then wonder why I let the people fill with unrest

I suggest to you that this because God loves us
That he makes us the gift of suffering

Suffering in silence for a lot of mileage
I was flying high until somehow I lost my autopilot
All the while I missed the way I felt
With the less than violence all around
I felt a heavy mist that I could not get out of
Angels party less than pools around me
Get your head a visie
Push the righteous moves away so I receive some demon kisses
Scriptures told me I should taste the sea
I said this is delicious
Where are the bunch of broken lambs
'Cause I was seeking genie's wishes

Broken I conceded to the badder things
Picking up the pieces that the pattern brings
Slit from the smoke in my lungs fill Acetylene
Heat from the flame with a fire feeling heavenly
