Say Something

we're huddled, and humbled, and human
as the planes rip up the sky
and space and time are all burning
as our beloved children cry

and all these songs I know are screaming
and I don’t know what to say
and all my angel friends are leaving
their mothers taking them away

and now the words have all gone quiet
they all start to sound the same
and now the birds have all drawn silent
they’ve forgotten how to pray

oh, say something! god of my creation
paint me some true way
out of this hell that I have built

say something! for all my adoration
you warden of perfection, you ultimate temptation

the final fruit borne by this blood watered tree
say something
speak to me
