unbreakable

I burned my arm with the iron this morning (which may or may not have been an accident). I expected it to hurt like hell afterwards, but instead I didn't feel anything.
Anything except dizzy, that is...after I looked and saw what appearred to be melted skin I decided not to look again until I was sitting. I finished up a few things, grabbed my ourse and an ice pack and headed out the door...still feeling nothing. I expected thet pain to hit once I slowed down and let my body realize what was going on, but no. Now, five hours later, still nothing. Its blistered of course, and rather ugly.








Take, take till there's nothing,
nothing to turn to.
Nothing when You get through.
Won't You break,
scatter pieces of all I've been.
Bowing to all I've been running to.
I…I got a question.
I got a question - Where are You?
Did you leave me unbreakable?
Leave me frozen?
I've never felt so cold.
I thought You were silent.
I thought You left me
for the wreckage and the waste.
On an empty beach of faith.
Was it true?
I…I got a question.
I got a question - Where are You?
Scream, deeper I wanna scream.
I want You to hear me, I want You to find me.
I want to believe but all I pray is wrong
and all I claim is gone.
I…I got a question.

I got a question - Where are You?
Where are You?
Silence, Jars of Clay
