Be Not

maybe not what you're after
if it's heaven you want
in the slope of the rafters
in the space that you haunt

could you be not a spirit
just a word in a mouth
would a face in the mirror
get you out of the house

so be not a bit afraid it isn't gonna hurt
maybe so but if it does you know it could be worse

could you be not the image
of a maker of mud
put a start to the finish
of the flesh and the blood

and be not at all afraid it isn't gonna hurt
maybe so but if it does you know it could be worse

so be not a bit afraid it isn't gonna hurt
maybe so but if it does you know it could be worse

so be not a bit afraid this isn't what you need
maybe so but if it is it wasn't meant to be
