get thee behind me world


the world is waiting with the wind to sweep away our love

unconscious beast that comes to feast upon a fragile dove

but as the gutter gobbles up the street sweeper’s supply

i’m standing strong by looking long into your emerald eyes

 

and sing to bring a lover’s swing without a windy day

amid the roar of a downpour my words are here to stay

there’s only you and all you do that’s worth the sacrifice

let all the world dwell in hell with all of its advice

 

i will linger with my fingers forming firm foundations

a monument made to your love viewed for generations

i’ll pave the streets with heaven’s gold and build beds of feathers

all harvest will be bountiful regardless of weather

 

reject the seed of satan’s greed that we must sell and buy

invoking divinity’s creed that we must give and die

the all and all and wherewithal i’ll make all roses bloom

and fill each space with an erase so you’ll always have room

 

and all the pain in a refrain the world mindlessly throws

will only find an unclogged drain wherein i’ll let it flow

i will distract with second acts which have happy endings

reality is just perceived let’s master pretending
