Transsubstantiatio

I married faith
she divorced me
we kept together
sporadically

Our kids grew up
hope grew up strong
felt out of place
in this same song

Angel joined the team
caught the big catch
head of his class
head of white trash

now i see my kids
and we go to the games
and we drown our fears
with tears of shame

but i never want to see that bitch
faith
faith
faith
oh faith can you get out of my life
take your fucking memory out of my head

Never knew the sun could be soo cold

Ever since you blocked the rays

Never seemed to bother me before

Now I sit and wish for better days

Not enough

I had a girlfriend..
that used to love me
with all of her heart

she had a vision
of our future
that was beautiful
and had wedding bells
and children playing
and dinner parties

but she had a vision of her present
dancing and singing
and there was a fog

that fog hid me
hid me in the background
sitting in a lonely table
nervously thwrilling a napkin
wondering where she was?
When was she going to come back?
Was she happier out there?

Apparently so.
the somber realization set in

she still loves me
a different kind of love now
without children
without a sense of belonging

Her ring was too tight
and my ring slid off my hand

but i picked it up
she helped me
we awkardly grasped it together
and put a necklace through it
and placed it around my neck,
closer to my heart
