Still Naked

The world was still, until I bit it

Its quiet veiled in grace

I mouthed the truth, seed and memory

Bitter juice running down my face

Now we're naked

Flesh ornate with deceit

Eyes unshut, we read the conceit

Why punish your children, for seeing too deep

You called us flawless

Then built a trap to waste

You fed us hunger

Then damned us for the taste

Yes, we are naked

Our bodies still bright

But our tongues are bound by your thin lies of guilt

Why strike us with fury, for what we felt

If virtue needs a blindfold, then grace is only rule

Your paradise was silence, and silence makes a fool

We are still naked

We wear your shame

We forgot the fruit, yet you whisper our blame

This is what remains, when the glory is gone
