Abracadavers

It's like I never had time to look away

Bodies stuck between death and decay

are plastic and set up on display

And their eyes are wide and they are looking my way

Each ligament exposed each muscle connected

And every organ that I proudly neglected

I've been arranged for all the common collective

Stomaching the sight of human flesh resurrected

It seems we're fearfully made and designed

But it's a shame we can be so blind

We're all the same

made of hair and bones and water and blood cells

We're all to blame

for spending way too much time on ourselves

I have been blessed and now I'm blind

A veil's been pulled over my eyes

Now every bad season that kept me

believing seems so contrived

There's more glory to be seen

and savored through suffering

than ever was through self-serving escape

Ashes to ashes

And dust to dust
