City with a weight on it( with a never ending blessing) is from Vampire Weekend’s song Worship You.
Can’t quit,
City with a weight,
City with a never ending story to
Be rewritten,
Overly Zionistic with a lack
Of the crucifix,
Traditional man, praying to the
Saints of old, resurrected the mold
Of the old ways of all who have ever
Said ‘this is the way,’ this is the ‘correct’
Way to pray—wrong maybe, messy always—
Revival haters, God cannot be good if its not in
Order, decent is a recent claim, dead as can be
Inside glories memory,
Can’t quit in understanding,
I can quit the hype, pull it down and
Replace it with life,
Freeway addiction is everyone’s
Nonfiction, traffic lights with the
Eye of the beholder,
Furiously in love with the
Screen’s invitation, bigger
And better Avenger soon to be,
Give way to wrath, ask amiss to be
Thrown in with the bliss of not knowing
Seared in Sears is everyone’s Saturday
Tragedy, John Deere relaxation, outside
Garden is perfect but those roots in you
Don’t go deep,
City with a weight,
Man does hate those plans He has,
Am I the city of the battle Ax?
Am I a worthy weapon,
Worthy is your worthless word
The cross come down,
Can’t look at it,
Can’t love those that don’t
Want it,
Taco Tuesday has abused you,
Freedom ain’t so free if I have
To answer for this mystery—but
Nothing else gives life but You
And the city I live in
