None of the Above.

How can I love you, if you don't love me?
How can I see you, if I'll always be
The backup
The second
Bestest friend through and through
Can I be blind and claim to be true?

I'm an old man, with eyes fallen out
No meat on my bones
Much hair in my snout
I'm an old hand at the waiting game
Walking towards Mecca with two legs too lame.

Hop on a bus
Ride in a car
Jump on a plane
It won't be so far
You'll get there so fast
No call for this fuss
Just cheat in your quest
Come be just like us
No need to walk the walk
When you can talk your soul away

I am a pilgrim
A modest man
A humble man
Stumbling towards Jerusalem
Stumbling, bumbling, fumbling to my Broken-Promised Land

I am a pilgrim
A virtuous man
A devoted man
Swimming the sea to America
Swimming, for I will not sail
Swimming, for I will not fly
Swimming, for I have no angel wings to get me
To my land of liberty.
Swimming, but I won't break free
'Fore my inner fire burns out.

I am a pilgrim
A bitter man
A jaded man
Sitting down in the path to the City of God
The path with no guide
The path with no trail
The path with no end
Save yourself.

How can I love you?
How can I care?
How can I help you
When you're always nowhere?
Am I a crutch?
Or just training wheels?
Is this despair
Or just how love feels?

Oh Lord, What a Mourning
Oh Lord, Sad Sad Day
Oh Lord, What a Mourning
For Your Son Has Faded Away

Did Jesus ever want everyone else to be perfect?
Did he ever stop to think
Why do I preach what they can't understand?
They know not what I do
What I say
Why I pray
To save the souls of those
Who see a means
Not a man
Who hear promises
Not love
Who wish Heaven
Not earth.

God is all of us.
God loves all of us.
So why can't we love ourselves?
Why can't we love each other
Without a fuck in the way?
Why can't we share love
Instead of making it?
Forcing it
Commanding it
To serve
To please
To stay
Until the mourning cums

God loves all of us.
So why is love so hard to find?
Why is love hidden
A heartstring in a haystack
A long lost holy grail
Buried twixt a rock
And a hard place

A men! A women! A girls and boys!
Look at what Santa's brought you,
Such candy and toys!
Jesus brought love, but he died like the rest
We still want his gift,
But we won't pass his test
Won't do his homework
Won't study
Study
Study
Learn
Grow
And be the men he meant for us to be

We are a world of children
With hungry hearts
And starving minds
Hands upraised for handouts
When there's good food all around.

But eat your candy
Rot your teeth
Discontent I doth bequeath
To you and yours,
If sweet your way
More sweet turns sour
Every day

I didn't mean to turn your water into whines
I didn't mean to bake this bread of strife
Eat of me
For me
Share me
For I am the love of the world
To be savored
Not devoured to a bloat
Nor fasted til the end of days.

The trees are where the good times lie
Amidst the azure, hopeful sky.
Above the ground, all you can see's
A big ole world that's all fo' free.
But you say you ain't got no wings?
Don't want none of them stinky thangs?
You just wanna sit, wit' yo' butt on the ground
And frown yo' life away.
Well dat's ok
If you wanna cry
For everything you didn't say
For everything that came what may
For every game you didn't play
For ever since you lost the way
To transcendental bliss.
Well, you can sit and sigh all day
Myself, I like t' fly.

Why you gotta be an anorexic?
Why you gotta binge yo'self
Then purge your soul away?
Why you gotta
Run!
Run!!
RUN!!!
'Til you die?
Come on baby, cop a feeling
Move with the emotion
Love like you ain't never had none befo'
As if you ain't never had none befo'
You ain't never had none
You ain't never had

None of the above.
