this man is watching me
or so i'm told
if i'm good
he'll help me out
if i'm not
a moment of bad judgement
or a lifetime
i'm exiled

he lives somewhere north
and you can go there for a price
or if u need an excuse
or maybe you just go
when you've had enough

hes always judging me
or so it seems
do this, do that
sacrifice this, forbid that
live by the rules i set you lifetimes ago
live for me
not for you

he has his henchmen
thousands of brainwashed fools
keeping an eye on me too
convinced that if they make me him
he'll take them in
i want to scream at them
'Are  you all blind?
is this how you want to live?'

its just an excuse
he's there to try keep me in check
he's there because they say he is, right?
he's there because everybody needs an excuse
needs something to hold on to throughout their own, worthless lives
so that in maybe, if they concentrate hard enough
on whats going to happen after
they will get it
or they won't
after realising what they left behind
he's not there
he is for others
but he's never been there for me
he can't be

yet, in writing this, why do i fear him?


*Sorry.

as long as we laugh out loud, laugh like we're mad. because this crazy, mixed up beauty is all that we have.

I thought this was a really good writing. Most people fear the Man Above. But some people have their reasons, and we have ours. They might not be right but at least we know what we believe in. It doesn't matter what they believe in, Cause in the end when His Son comes back for us we will be the ones that always believed.
Don't forget, just pray and all your sins will be washed away.
