lirik lagu quotidian devotion – daniel cave

you got
nicks, cuts, and razor bumps
because you shaved your holy hair
when your child got the mumps

you left your laundry on the yard
when he was hit by a car
the next day
your clothes were wet with dew
and the grass was dry
and the prime minister died

when he had measles
you went to the priest
she got the backdoor landline
to the healer

she said:
“eat more greens
eat less yeast
and when you question
his discretion
remember one thing:

“you gotta have a little more quotidian devotion
sight the sky. taste the ocean
light scatters til we catch it
and the wicked do too
so swallow the ocean
before it swallows you.”
you got
blanched blisters and scalds
lighting candles for the bear
when your child got mauled

you scaled what you could not move
up the crag to the bluff where you called
you wanted answers with a side of shekinah
you got the backside
and your face shone bright
with out*righteous disappointment

and when the child met the fish
from the swallowing sea
with the scales on his eyes
and the whiskers on his fin

by confection exchange
trashed a birthright dignity
and devoured what could not understand
so you told the pta
who had the pistic thing to say:

“you gotta have a little more quotidian devotion
sight the sky. taste the ocean
light scatters til we catch it
and the wicked do too
so suck it up
before life sucks you.”
you got
back pain and spit in your eyes
when you dug the hole
and lifted with your thighs

you jumped the pit
got goat on your bathrobe
in the dry yards down
in a hole in the ground
you yelled:
“why do you allow evil in the world?”
and to the timeworn proclaim
came the dust devil whirl
to say:
“i was gonna ask you the same.”

you sang:
“can you spare a little more quotidian devotion?
light the sky. split the ocean
life matters til you sn*tch it
it’s permitted by you

“can you spare a little more quotidian devotion?
light the sky. split the ocean
life matters til you sn*tch it
it’s permitted by you.”
and the pillar of flame said:
“i can’t end your suffering
but i can suffer too.”

can you spare a little more quotidian devotion?
(you gotta have a little more quotidian devotion.)
