Failed Pretenses

When I walk blind

Into that goodnight

I'll have my grace

Embracing that dark

You just behave

So strangely

I'm sure you think

The same of me...

Can goodwill

Of man

Can it withstand

Failed pretenses?

I'm not afraid

I'm not saved

Don't think me

Any other way

I see flaws

In your golden gods

I have bones

To pick

I do not serve

I cannot learn

Anyone else's way

But my own
