Simon Joyner - Hallelujah

Hallelujah


Hallelujah, I am abandoned
Hallelujah, I am alone
Hosanna, Hosanna, you are absent
You lit out and left me floating on this stone


If there is a kingdom, I can’t see it
Your illumination is soaking in the carpet
Papa told me death is the enemy
but you must have thought differently


The patterns of action are not
fixed and constant
because you broke a solid
and gave it momentum
Black newsprint on my fingers
turns my yellow stomach
and they can’t wash you off the walls
of your apartment


Your bones are my songs
and your blood, the voice
So go ahead and let the worms move on in
I’ve got an echo that will cause an avalanche
and I know liberty is only wallpaper thin


I never wanted all this knowledge
I don’t need a shell to hear the sea
Snow trampled on tomorrow’s flowers
but I sure didn’t ask them to fall for me


Hallelujah, I am grounded
by the mighty magnet underneath
Hosanna, Hosanna, I am abandoned
Hallelujah, my brother is free
