Let me give you my life

Three thousand four hundred thirty seven
days since
I lay in a daze 
wince
Sunlight ablaze
evince
A blossom of pain.

Command me to be well.

Two hundred seventy five
days gone
you're lost &
we're all wrong
air-tossed
conclusion foregone
A blossom of brain.

Command me to be well. 

Ninety
days left
an anniversary
of hope bereft
hand of mercy
fingers deft
A blossom down the drain.

Command me to be well.

Numberless
days until
I feel
I've had my fill
what's real?
Blood spilled
Turn to steel
A blossom in the rain.

Command me to be well.

Command me to be well.
Amen. Amen. Amen.

Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
I will lead that deathless death 
Good God, let me give you my life.
- Hozier, "Take me to Church"
