Jackson Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 My song: Il Diavolo e Dio Intro Hello friend, benvenuto to my life Each stroke of pen will show you fragments of my mind From yellowed pages of my younger times A manifesto to who I am inside A pious boy from southern Italy Traveling through the rough cobblestone streets Until I make each man in Rome believe That praising God’s our only destiny So please read… Verse I wake each day and say a little prayer in my heart Cause God is good and no one should be left without his charm I walk the road to lead me home and talk to all who pass Though most avoid me I feel joy each time I see them dash Even if they only hear my word from far away I know the spirit touches them in its own special way And so I hum a hymn of praise and proclaim earthly pleas To save these lowly sinners as God once had rescued me Chorus Sing Hallelujah to on High, sing him praises until I’m On my knees, then repeat and I’ll keep serenading Sing convictions to the king, crooning carols endlessly Maybe then I’ll earn a seat at Jesus’s feet Hoping heaven hears my pleas Hoping God is listening Maybe then I’ll earn a seat at Jesus’s feet Verse I read the news and see confused souls seeking mortal sin Their evil deeds will only lead to blackened souls within Shoot every shot like they forgot the Father gave them life So he sends plagues until they’ve paid the price that He provides Even if they only hear his word in muffled calls I hope one day they’ll recognize that he could save them all Robbers, crooks, and deviants, and those who lie with man I know that God can save them all if they follow his plan Chorus Sing Hallelujah to on High, sing him praises until I’m On my knees, then repeat and I’ll keep serenading Sing convictions to the king, crooning carols endlessly Maybe then I’ll earn a seat at Jesus’s feet Hoping heaven hears my pleas Hoping God is listening Maybe then I’ll earn a seat at Jesus’s feet Bridge Sometimes I take the road to Rome, seeing cities burn to bones See the people suffering and I wish that I was home In my mind I still believe God is good so why does he Let good people suffer while he lives immortal life of luxury? Maybe I’m not good enough if I don’t believe his love Heals all strife but I can see it when the lightning strikes above I see people keel in pain, taking the Lord’s name in vain And I wonder what’s the purpose again? Chorus Sing Hallelujah to on High, but I still don’t know if I Still believe, but maybe if I keep serenading Sing convictions to the king, crooning carols endlessly Maybe then I’ll earn a seat at Jesus’s feet Hoping heaven hears my pleas Hoping God is listening But I’ll never earn a seat at Jesus’s feet Verse It’s like I have awakened for the first time I see the Earth in technicolor with new eyes Narcotized emotions take control And voices beckon me towards a new goal Maybe God’s a puppet master pulling all our strings He sets fire to the Earth because he delights in suffering If I’m not his child I’m just a sycophant Maybe I’m ready to follow my own footprints Alternate Chorus Harmonies of hallelujah fall flat Why would I sing praises to a psychopath? Only narcissists believe immortal life Could ever be more than eternal strife Now I know of heaven’s fraud One that I had spread abroad And it only stops by killing God Verse Mia madre says she worries for my sanity Like God hasn’t destroyed the Earth’s sanctity Mio padre says I should take my medicine And if I keep on spiraling I’m dead to him But why would I take pills to numb the rage? If feeling something’s crazy maybe I’m insane Something in my head says I should go Take a knife and take the road to Rome Alternate Chorus Harmonies of hallelujah fall flat Why would I sing praises to a psychopath? Only narcissists believe immortal life Could ever be more than eternal strife Now I know of heaven’s fraud One that I had spread abroad And it only stops by killing God Bridge I stumble around the Vatican, feeling frenzy in my eyes Blurred faces fill the spaces I shuffle past The rage consumes me faster I thrust the wooden doors of the Sistine open I feel its fabled frescoes mocking me God reaches out to Adam on the ceiling Beginning man’s torment Prenda anche del frutto dell’albero della vita E ne mangi, e viva in perpetuo Enslaved to sing his praises eternally I feel the paint envelop me I’m taken to heaven in a chariot of acrylic blues Angels encircle me, singing tunes and tributes I hear fear in the cracks in their voices Millenia of stolen harmonies sweep the clouds And I see God now His outstretched arms extend toward me Il diavolo e Dio, a tetralogy of malice I unsheath my blade and say a prayer to myself Chorus Sang Hallelujah to on High, but now I know that I I believe in nothing and the truth is deafening I convicted the king, killed a crook and now he bleeds Jesus falls at my feet Heaven dims like candlelight And falls into a silent night God is dead and my world fades to white

Did my shortcomings receive none other than a platitudinous crook? Baby i get it now I think i might read maladjusted Read the room once, shake it up a few inches Dote the pull, hoard the chain Spill my plume and ink But only i can fuel the walk Oh for ****’s sake you’re uninspiring That palimpsest yeah you wish i’d go revising But you may cross once, i’ll never cross again For you’ve furtively chastised me once, pretty sycophant Oh darling i think i might read maladjusted Read the room once, shake it up a few notches Dote the pull, hoard the chain Spill words black just to blink But only i can walk this walk Oh no sugar not i will read maladjusted For your heavens have given me bitter first tastes For your fruits are disastrous, your coals hidden masters, oh We philistines broke our leaves so treacherously Plus time is of the essence Your horticultures wither with the clock of the thousands of suns Tick away like the sticks on beaten drums Hold me close with bricks melted and poured in my ears Golden cascades of starlight, sunlight for your children you’ll someday bring To waterfalls, to waters of yore While my memory is but a filament A filament to rip and cackle at My love a writ A clause to rebel against For no floor is deep enough for you And no ceiling too bright You can’t blind yourself on futures so rigid they won’t refract Crumble for me, baby, crumble all night long As i wash up in the rivers of deep belligerence The dryness collected on my dermis like painted vagrancy I chose to give myself, i chose to soak myself in I deal in hardened truths, i deal in banks of serpentine conclusion I waste time in unguarded baths, i waste life in my bed Who am i? Who would be this bitter in recollection? Who would you appreciate if not me? Was i fast enough? Was I welcoming enough? Open minded enough? A love of a thousand magnolias? A love of a sunset so melty? Not i, maladjusted, just a whole mess Not i, maladjusted, just a world you’ll never return to A harkening of the creek behind my apartment Gives me hope that my memory of you will not fade As a masochist i must never let you sand Mustn’t let you escape these olden pressures For you instilled them upon me, gladdened like a coo of a crane Butt that’s where we lived, sweet love In the hands of the emboldened In the lakes of the lost Forever and ever it felt like, for hard times and sad claims Never enough, i stuttered To myself as i carved my name in every alleyway I vandalize the roadways you so desired The pavements now my own, they felt my power even as i treaded lightly You felt my flaws Accepted the holes in my plots Accepted twists of fate in me and who i am But lost me with the riptides and apogees The encomium of light. the paean to a better future You didn’t want me there, and so i drifted I sailed away and was maladjusted but content in another land You’re not to love me again, or hold another painting i scraped out within seconds for some unbound competition No more locker door slams, no more squeeze of a shoulder in a crosswalk No kissing at every rock show Said i’m sorry for it, but never showed it to your satisfaction Said my cries weren’t of anger and weren’t representative of my soul But were obviously not pleasing to the ear I apologize for the verbosity, but the redundancy of this letter isn’t for your comfort It’s for my convalescence and my soul work You’d best understand if i left it to be now So this is my official goodbye to you, as we ride into the distance Don’t forget my love for you, please let it remain even if it is all you remember of me i barely even remember writing it, it just came out
