Love takes us for twists and turns like a fairy tale floating in the sky... We're born, we live, we experience, we're saved, we're corrupted... under a telescopic microscope while trying to be ourselves and fighting all the boundaries the world puts on us... it's cosmic, it's psychedelic, it's disproportionate, it's love and insanity all in one
lyrics
she took me for my first
christened me in a field of blue bonnets
a Texas baptism in the most outrageous of churches they’re all outrageous though,
those soul saving corporate
pope castles
my church is the sky of rainbows flooding the earth after a post apocalyptic meltdown
of love insanity
we embraced insanity
and made love to each other
through stories of sharks, dreams,
people, and pie
sweet apple pie, the kind you’d find in a ginger bread house only the wicked witch would ever feed you
after she stole your soul, locked it in a box
and tossed the key down her elizabethan bosom
this is the church in the sky of rainbows flooding the earth after a post apocalyptic meltdown
of love insanity
this story will be televised, interrupted, deconstructed, and hypothesized
in red lights, feathers, words of wisdom, technology, biology, and artistic creativity
this is the book of soul
this is my church in the sky of rainbows flooding the earth after a post apocalyptic meltdown of love insanity
