I was somewhere else in my head
When you were looking at me
And everything I’ve ever gotten I deserved
But I haven’t gotten it all yet
Not the good, especially not the bad
But we are born pure
And if we ever find that purity again
After our minds are ravaged 
From newborns to willful adults 
Then we have witnessed the truest miracle
If all I have is myself, 
I have everything
Still I wish I was also the sole owner
Of a time machine
I came all this way
With all the power I had left
And it didn’t matter 
You pulled me into your world
And then you left it
What should I say?
What’s left to do?
I feel like sleeping for a thousand years
I wish I knew how to forget 
In the moment love feels the truest
It’s just mirrors, smoke, and a slip
Of the hand

Religion Destroys God (Love)

I was your cognitive dissonance 
And you were my sweet surrender 

I was what your beliefs forbid
And you were my guilt free pleasure 

I was the one you said you couldn’t live without 
And you I see when my eyes close 

You said destiny gave us true love 
And I don’t know how to unlove you

But I know why god never speaks with our words
And I know why angels never show off wings from heaven

There is nothing but pluses and minuses
Everything evens out from beginning to end

Beliefs are the work of destruction
Facts built the temple of the Almighty One

And it's not what you think
But the love you forget

That defines where you get to end up
