Lyrics Albatross - Garrett Smith

You wrote a song but first you took your aim
A wholly holy albatross where you could fix the blame
Well I've had time and time's had me
To make you stop, to make you see
The answer that you could never name

The three in one you saw, just through a scope
To feed your guilt, to strike your fear, to give you bitter hope
So I'll let them give their reply
To shout and comfort, scream and cry
The answer you wish you could've known

How dare you take for granted everything
I did for you, the words I gave, I taught you how to sing
The sabbath split, your time is up
So I'll sit back, pour out my cup
The justice: a burning, cleansing sting

It seems that all you do is break my heart
Another spike, another thorn, the curtain torn apart
A sinful spear stuck in my side
And to my feet your fettered pride
The thankless that sank this from the start

Forget all that, stretch time out on a scale
Your troubles now are growing pains, a temple built to fail
The turning in your fragile bones
The serpent and the cornerstone
My mind, our mind, your grail

You feel unsettled answers in your soul
The incomplete omniscient feat, a shaky hand to hold
It's not enough but does for now
You don't know why and you don't know how
The chalice: half out, half full
My wisdom, your answer, your goal
