Oh Broken Son!

Uncontrollably shaking I wake from a nightmare to curtains of snow whispering down in the stillness, silence The land lifeless and colorless and without a trace of movement Save for the cracking limbs heavy Crashing hidden in the unknowable distance Time inexhaustibly turning, yearning as I clamor perilously against predicaments I've fashioned with my foolishness Please Through windblown drifts I've drifted without direction into a godless land Charted only by wolves and wickedness And my pride Which I've always struggled to hide Even inside the familiar folds of my loneliness Because I am the son orbited by ideas that I am something other than human Again and again I've burned maps with prayers belonging to other men Because I remember the glowing cinder of what they spoke But I possess no speech beyond that recollected script other than a stammer Even as I hurry into silence from a stutter, stop I hear the wind and the quake and the fire but I miss every whisper When did these mountains pass into the heart of man And have I been cut from that winter stone, and if so Why does my heart beat like an ocean enraged, and foam And rise and rise until the waves carry me Far from the only heart that's ever felt like home I should shout But the muffling silence of this eternal snow would leave my cries with no place to go Instead, I'll remember every ember floating from the firelight Watching each rise into a shiver before dying in the coming night And I'll save my last breath to tell you what you've always known Tell you what you've always known And I'll save my last breath to tell you what you've always known Tell you what you've always known Hopelessly shuddering Wondering if this helpless wandering is helpless at all Or an intentional product of a prodigal problem Perpetuating and proliferating the propaganda That I am at peace when outside the presence of people and the unspeakable Who currently resides inside an unraveling ribbon of grey light Clinging to the faraway horizon It's all paradoxical The deceiving heat of this inhospitable terrain Vast and violent and numbing every thought into a mistaken Refrain from shouting the only name that It's inexplicable All these wandering advances into empty houses with my backward glances Because even as I escape the presence I'll examine the growing landscape to see Did the shepherd shun the ninety-nine for this one I'm a walking contradict Opposed to my own opposition Departing from your presence only to delight in the discovery of it Being sketched in every distance like Son, you cannot escape the air in your own chest So breathe, and let the repetition of that breath do best To stir you into a love that will never loosen Even as you let go And you know I'll let go You know I'll reshape your face into a white, silent specter Into a vision of sorrow that'll spin me into a ghost of winter Where every stun and splendor will rise with surrender Before it stops in the searching Low-sweeping cold of my barely beating heart Wake me out of this shadow and slumber and into an ageless morning Because I hear it distinctly Insistent over the slow-speaking snow Weary voices clamoring for the comfort of that terminal burrow I would scream But the muffling silence of this eternal snow would leave my cries with no place to go Instead, I'll remember every ember floating from the firelight Watching each rise into a shiver before dying in the coming night And I'll save my last breath to tell you what you've always known Tell you what you've always known And I'll save my last breath to tell you what you've always known Tell you what you've always known
