c'est matière d'opinion

Not really sure why I wrote this one, I just did:)


c'est matière d'opinion


There is so much to do

so much to see

I already know

it's one times too many

I look back on you

extrude through and breathe

I want to think

I'm going to be ready


in the midst of the pain

they help me dull it


intro


Nothing to say

I will not hear

I already know

It's not what you know

You cross your arms

hold up your heart

give thanks for your work

build up your guard


in the midst of your struggle

they help you to bear it


The petty white coats

the pretty red rose

the thorny young heart

and the spirit it grows

whispering prayers

afraid to speak

scarring your soul

fathering your needs


one two three four

oh you know

offer your sacrifice

even though you're oh so sure

Drop to your knees

and share your please

blasé fair

or whatever it says

au contraire mon ami

c'est matière d'opinion

Mr Everything

I wrote this shortly after the Columbine tragedy.


Mr Everything


hey mr everything i was wondering if though

about where youve been

I was thinking that you'd want to contemplate

the choices you've made

hey miss beauty queen i was wondering if you knew

what it means

i was thinking how said it always seems when you grow older


and i dont know if i could make better choices than the ones you have made

and i try not to judge you and the choices you made

but what about the things that don't blow away with the winds of change

the things that don't often slip and fade away the wicked things you just can't slay

somethings just won't wash away


Hey who chose this theme cause i was

wondering why we're falling apart at the seems

and why no one wants to wake up from there dreams into this world

hey could you tell me why we got to the place where children die

by the hands of there friends who just try

to find a way out


and i dont know if i could make better choices than the ones you have made

and i try not to judge you and the choices you made

but what about the things that don't blow away with the winds of change

the things that don't often slip and fade away the wicked things you just can't slay

somethings just won't wash away

do you wonder why we always say one thing and do another

do you wonder why jesus said don't even hate your brother?

maybe he was talking about something more

like peoples hearts and the deeds that they wore

maybe we need to contemplate the words that he spoke

hey la la la la ya

well hey ja ja ja ja ja ja ja

and now pa pa pa pa


how do we do that????

and i dont know if i could make better choices than the ones you have made

and i try not to judge you and the choices you made

but what about the things that don't blow away with the winds of change

the things that don't often slip and fade away the wicked things you just can't slay

somethings just won't wash away
