MAKES ME THINK

The noise makes me think of silence
The clutter makes me think of space
The violence makes me think of soft singing
The hatred makes me think of peace

A bigger sky, a sky to swallow whole
A wilderness, a wild, a century, a soul

Weren't you birthed from this planet
Weren't you made of this Earth
A planet so foreign to your behaviors
A righteous right for eternal earth

Nascar engines spill into sleeping rooms
An ocean ripping against a moon
Suburban Indy 500, what's gon' be next
Sirens and bombs and empty sex

A bigger more beautiful bountiful sky
I almost ask and wish to die
The world a plenty, full and sigh
God is no longer by our side

And oh division, a human trait
The only advice is sit and wait
The human fortune of fucking fate
And Oh a path detoured unstraight

Machines make me think of nature
Longing makes me think of you
Traffic makes me think of roads crystal clear
Past loves and souls forgotten make me true

Digging ditches makes mountains high
Raging torrents make valleys wide
I almost really ask to die
God is no longer by our side

Try, try, try to try
An awful awesome amazing sigh
Beltway blasts no answer why
It's not yours or hers or his or mine

Don't you know it all will end
A simple rock killed our dinosaur friends
The end is the only true universal trend
We too must make amends

Humanity a species gone quite chubby
God has said he doesn't love thee
Hurricanes and quakes and waves of flooded seas
Torrents of tumultuous tides sick and sudsie

With bones so straight, I think of your curves
A sentiment that surely serves
A brain of beautiful drunken nerves
A soul so empty so assures

Rumbles rumbles make me think
Passenger jets crash and ocean liners sink
A midnight porch too bright to blink
A warrior's torch thrown off a brink

Beer bottles clink and clank and shatter
What the fuck future really matters
A maddened historical hysterical hatter
Even planets quake and shake and shatter

Digging ditches makes mountains high
Raging torrents make valleys wide
I almost really ask to die
God is no longer by our side
