Visible Unseen - Silent Planet

Speak to me in a language only Lovers can understand

Dance with me in a rhythm only Lovers can comprehend

One fist gripping defiance

Other cradling the sacred inside of our hands: Pariah

It’s the pain of becoming

Confronting what stirs within

I wanted to show you apocalypse

So you could see just how this ends as it begins

No place to rest your head

No respite for an anathema

Banished for the sin of honesty

From the citadel of little-hidden hells

Pyroglyphic: I saw Your face inside the fire

Monolithic: A dominance that dictates desire

Ultimatum: Dual damnations dichotomize me

Suffocation: Crushed beneath holy hypocrisy

This isn’t love, this is escape

Exiled into the night

Left to navigate a world that negates our needs

The Visible Unseen

You’re the weight I’ll always carry

Through a world so cold, you’ll never walk alone

We will find a place to lay our heavy heads

These lonely roads will always lead you home

Am I only flawed when I am alive?

Only your child if I live denied?

I ask of you, Benevolence, was I made just to be broken?

Our faith became a silver shield, insulated from compassion

Praising the prosperity, repressing their identity

I’ll show you hell is a place, it’s in the secrets we keep

Oh God, how those secrets keep me

This isn’t love, this is escape

This isn’t love, this is escape

Coerced conformity fixed on the dust in their eye

Forest fires rage in mine

I never thought to ask

When you said she was asleep, did you hear my disbelief?

The bitter irony, that I wait for God as she dies beside me

You’re the weight I’ll always carry

Through a world so cold, you’ll never walk alone

We will find a place to lay our heavy heads

These lonely roads will always lead you home

We found our place in the disconnect of neglect

These lonely roads will always lead you home

Until our paths converge, give me eyes to see the visible unseen

These lonely roads will always lead you home

Speak to me in a language only Lovers can understand

One fist gripping defiance

Other cradling the sacred inside of our hands
