Parables In Sign

I
am so beautiful
and I
think this whole thing is pitiful
where all these
crazy people
try to to bring me down

but I stand
so 
proud
here on 
this consecrated 
ground

why must all these voices
pile up so
high
growing loud
bringing me down
yea, but I won't
hide

silver cups
overflowing
people wondering
without knowing
these crowds so 
very lost

hear me now
so shallow here
attempts to bleed out these
purging words
falling deeper onto this
bed of swords
don't know where I'm falling towards

beside me
beside you
our fading dreams start to
obstruct our view
and these fickle signs
they begin to 
realign

what I said to you
