the pain - mosaics lyrics

sometimes life washes over us like the floodwaters from which we emerged(1), so we watch the sun rise on a new horizon
we turned our backs on the world shaped for us and instead made a home for the poison that we hold within our hollowed bones. because we would rather cling to the cancer that slowly corrodes our core ident-ty no matter the cost than suffer the pains to cut out our toxic behaviors and thoughts (2). taste and see the suffering of your children who have no safe place to hide (3), and we deny our neighbors suffering to bury them beneath our pride (4). while certain companies act as a cigarette of black smoke to choke out our world’s breath (5), we wait for a light to come and burn out the shadow of death (6). we turn to our faces up for answers to a sky that seems to constantly grow darker, when to save pennies we watched the burning sacrifice of our immigrant daughters (7). so we make appearances to sanctify ourselves to our neighbors all the while our society is a crumbling tower of broken image-bearers (8). i know that the past is a heavy thing to carry around as a burden, and i know that our churches are little more than hollowed halls of what we used to believe in (9). but i hold onto the hope that this process of healing gets easier the further we go (10), and every dead thing in our lives can provide new room to grow. maybe those shattered fragments of the innocent children we used to be can still act as the painted frames of gl-ss we put up as windows in these manic cathedrals for our loved ones to be able see. your brokenness does not take away your beauty. and just because you hurt now doesn’t mean you’ll never be free. someday we will all be gone, someday we will all be at the end of our fight. but even in those times you don’t know how to be strong, i pray you still let in a light (11)
