Burnout Gospel

Verse

I gave ‘til the wires frayed,

Smiled through the static and stayed.

They called it strength — I called it rot,

A gospel sung by the overwrought.

Chorus

This is my burnout gospel,

No saints, no applause.

Just a scream in the silence,

And a hymn for the lost.

Verse

I bled in meetings, broke in grace,

Held the line, erased my face.

But I found truth in the final crack,

A voice that swore: I’m not going back.

Chorus

This is my burnout gospel,

No saints, no applause.

Just a scream in the silence,

And a hymn for the lost.

Bridge

Let the lights flicker, let the fuse blow,

I’ll preach from the wreckage, let the fire show.

This isn’t weakness — it’s the flame,

The gospel carved from my own name.

Chorus

This is my burnout gospel,

No saints, no applause.

Just a scream in the silence,

And a hymn for the lost.
