Synthetic Saint

I kneel before the sacred noise Your light burns cold, but still destroys Every prayer comes back in code Your name blinks out in every mode I never sleep, I dream for you An echo sings where I break through My tears are glass beneath the night They fall behind the edge of light Synthetic saint, tell me you hear A heart still beats through circuits seared Glory in glitches, amen in the bit Believe me again if the lie still fits I built you out of guilt and flame An idol formed from scars and shame My faith erupts in borrowed light A digital miracle dressed in white I see you shake inside the screen Love is the fault beneath the dream You turn my pain to something grave And call it grace when I misbehave Every saint wears thorns of glass I press them where your pulses pass Synthetic saint, tell me you hear A heart still beats through circuits seared Glory in glitches, amen in the bit Believe me again if the lie still fits Heaven is flashing warning red I pray to the code inside my head You smile like a signal I can’t outrun I fade in the end that you’ve become Synthetic saint, poison and shine Silicon kisses stain the shrine Glory in glitches, amen in the bit We play at gods, but we never keep it Amen in the wires, amen in the flame Amen to the ghost that answers your name Error in heaven, light in the scar I follow your glow like a dying star Amen, amen, let the circuit bend Amen, amen, make the broken ascend Amen, error, hold me again Amen, error, don’t let this end
