Xiu Xiu - Stupid in the Dark

Through the Eyes of a Broken God

To debase your deities
Within the confines of apostasy...
It is unsatisfying
Why not break the God in its entirety?

Through the eyes of a broken God
We see the end of reality as it once was
And create our own misshapen rules
Sordid, spastic and sour

Through the eyes of a broken God
Our venial sins become virtues
Whilst cardinal sins become forgotten
Split through the sands of time

What is it that proves a God?
The existence of the mind
The existence of the self is all you need
For then you are your own God.

Through the eyes of a broken God
All you'll ever see is a reflection of that very God you broke...
Yourself.
