23

23 today, but I don't know what to say
seems like just another day
First birthday with money
but its funny
I feel no different
well, maybe more responsible.

God didn't breathe life into me

I don't know my place in this vastless vaccum of space
I can't say I know much bout the human race
but I know God didn't breathe life into me
and our past darwian just couldn't see

Its hard to swallow, but they're rearing us since were young
to believe in two theories that will come undone
the people who teach such ways
would leave us all better off if they just went away

I don't know my place in this vastless vaccum of space
I can't say I know much bout the human race
but I know God didn't breathe life into me
and our past darwian just couldn't see

I don't know much about my birth, but I know no god created the heavens and earth
I don't much about the past, but I know darwins theory won't last

I don't know my place in this vastless vaccum of space
I can't say I know much bout the human race
but I know God didn't breathe life into me
and our past darwian just couldn't see

Can't you see the light
and realize we don't what theories right
that we can't understand
how the earth came to be populated by man

I don't know my place in this vastless vaccum of space
I can't say I know much bout the human race
but I know God didn't breathe life into me
and our past darwian just couldn't see
inpired by "the monkey's no kin to me"

Winter Tree

Allow me to be like a tree
bending but not broken
Opening their stomata to take in water
So too, open my mind so I can absorb the sea of knowledge
leaves of ignorant thought wither and are cast off
Barr my soul as a winter tree
New growth in the spring

Anger is like an echo, it will always return
Expanding and becoming hotter as a marshmallow in the microwave
I wish I didn't hate i know its wrong but I just don't know how to love Like my sister not inviting me to her reception because I don't believe in god makes me hate religion.

If only

You're only scared because you don't know the human being behind the stigma
If you only knew that beyond what you see is someone just like you

If you're always looking ahead, you don't know where you currently tread
If your always looking behind what's in front of you you'll never find

we put the tiger in a cage
extinguishing its mighty rage
I hope the people enjoy their broken wind up toy
If William Blake knew the tiger we'd forsake
I wonder if he'd rewrite tiger burning bright
tiger tiger growing dim surrounded by forest of jungle gyms
our children will have to use a picture to frame its fearful symmetry

Angie

Why was I the last to know?
Such a devastating blow, I never thought she'd be the one to go
We started out in elementary school
Two dorky kids no one thought was cool
And when we hit high school one of the of the last things she said was you're one of the only people I consider my friends
I had no idea her life would chose to end
I guess she couldn't overcome the classmates who mocked her or overcome the voices in her head
I had no idea her life she'd chose to end
Now I'm left with my regret, looking back it seems you always know the perfect thing to do
But now that I know the signs, I'll be ready next time
