Man crawled from the mud and saw god
\nGod sneered and said “Get the fuck off my lawn”<\/p>\n
We’ve been cursed all along
\nAnd wonder why the songs all sound dissonant
\nWhy religion becomes irrelevant<\/p>\n
It’s as if heaven sent us down to see if we could make it on our own
\nAngels looking down, making bets on our demise
\nWe laugh at the futility because it’s too damn painful to cry
\nAnd perfections unattainable but still we try,<\/p>\n
Still we strive to be more than the ones who came before us
\nStill strive to please god, even though that fucker ignores us
\nStill planting acorns with dreams of a future forest <\/p>\n
Still<\/p>\n
Because turbulence is abhorrent<\/p>\n
Man crawled from the mud, saw god and turned away
\nLooked to the Sun and found another way to pray
\nBathed in life-giving rays and found his own divinity<\/p>\n
So the angels grew bored and found another game to play<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
