Darkness

In a prearranged marriageThe youth pastor from my parishPledged to marry the 10th grade girl from down the streetStrange way to start a songEven stranger to belongTo that same youth group when I was just fifteenTo this day I still don't understandAll the things that masquerade as GodBut talk like businessmen'Cause tonight I swim in oceans untamedShe's mine and I am hersAnd we both float the sameAnd somewhere in the darknessI hear you call my nameSaying: Meet me in the darknessMeet me in the darknessMissionary positionsOf the Spanish InquisitionAnd apologetics that rarely apologizeCrucifix collisionsParadoxical traditionsAnd theodicy that keeps me up at nightWhen the tide is full and I can't sleepI hear the deep is calling out the deepest parts of meMy glass house ammunition castsThe first stones of ambition pastThe stained glass of the missionBetween Christendom and ChristianBut at night I know the Sun is still thereEven in the dark when I'm undone with despairWhere I sing these broken songsLike a candle, like a prayerMeet me in the darknessCome meet me in the darknessMeet me in the darknessYou meet me in the darkness
