Ecclesiastes Blues



For my first Blues Song I thought I'd keep it simple.

all things are weary under the sun
all things are weary under the sun
that which will and that which has been done
all things are weary under the sun

all my eyes wanted i did not refuse
all my eyes wanted i did not refuse
yet we chase after the wind in all we do
all my eyes wanted i did not refuse

there is a time for this, a time for that
there is a time for this, a time for that
and yet we know from the start
that good God has set
Eternity in our heart

no comfort for the living so praise be the dead
no comfort for the living so praise be the dead
oh how I long for my death bed
so praise be the dead

so eat your bread and drink your wine
so eat your bread and drink your wine
and in all this be satisfied
you know I’ll eat my bread and for sure drink my wine

all is shattered, all is crushed
all is shattered, all is crushed
to the earth return its dust
all is shattered, all is crushed

went lookin for the truth and what did I find
went lookin for the truth and what did I find
that preacher mans been singin since last may
vanity of vanitis all my days

Blaise Pascal is one smart dude

If we are to understand our bodies in their complexity we would learn to fear them

but my body is broken, tired and weary

and what is man but caught in the inbetween?

two extremes elude our grasp:

so small when we see the stars at night

so big when we consider the atom

and in this inbetween we swim

looking for a solid ground

but all we touch is not fixed

and so round and round we go we go

around and round we go we go (we wont stay down)

searching for solid ground

searching for the light i see

in the infinite universe (and in me)

oh to know the one we holds the atom together

oh to know the one who knows the stars by name

for imagination is ruler

and faith is belief in what i do not see

but its reward is seeing what i believe

 

Allah Allah Allah in everywhere we look.

my sister made me realize i miss my family

and so as the day nears
i share with you these tears
that as i miss you now when here
i'll miss you more when i'm there
so quiet you who speaks so soon
no doubt alone in a quiet room
for i have found my home
amongst the fire and smoke blown
for the sun sets orange and grey
in africa for those who stay
and for those who must say goodbye
they will always miss that blue sky
for you have given me hope
and hope never fails

*sigh*

i must return to the shores where
"they swear their love is real
they mean, i like the way you make me feel"
and
"you don't know where you came from,
you don't know where you're going,
you think you're you-
you don't know who you are,
you're not you.
you're everyone else.
you're everyone else.
you're everyone else.
you're everyone else."
and
"Everywhere we look
It's all crazy
It's all false
It's all a dream
It's alright
Everywhere we look "
so
"Come down and join our band
We'll cut you like sword
And sing forgiveness songs"

-mewithoutYou


know i pray for you and think of you often

Noises are always louder in someone else's home
every creak, ever squeak, every incessant groan
but what is deafening is the silence
screaming emptiness and misery in the quiet
and it is here where you shine
a light they tried to snuff
in sackcloth and dust
but i've seen it in your eyes
and yes the light does shine
