A place to love and accept the people who think about and live Mormonism on their own terms.

When I was done dying, my conscience regained
So I began my struggle, a nothingness strained
Out a flash made of time, my new form blasted out
And it startled me so and I burst out a shout
At which my legs ran frantic like birds from a nest
And I ran until drained, leaving no choice but rest
So I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave
But I should have gone in deeper but I'm not so brave
And like that I was torn out and thrown in the sky
And I said all my prayers because surely I'll die
As I crashed down and smashed into earth, into dirt
How my skin did explode, leaving only my shirt
But from shirt grew a tree and then tree grew a fruit
And I became the seed and that seed was a brute
And I clawed through the ground with my roots and my leaves
And I tore up the shirt and I ate up the sleeves
And they laughed out at me and said "what is your plan?"
But their question was foreign, I could not understand
When then suddenly I'm ripped up and placed into a mouth
And it swallowed me down at which time I head south
I said hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya
Well I woke up to see them, these two mighty steeds
With their mouths grinning wildly expressing my needs
As they stood there above me, being flanked on each side
I felt no need to fear them, no reason to hide
So I reached up to touch but they faded too soon
Yet their mouths still remained and stacked up towards the moon
How that ladder of mouth waved so soft in the night
And I looked up in awe at that beautiful sight
And I dreamt about climbing into the night sky
But I knew had I touched them they'd mouth back "Bye-bye"
So I got up and walked down the path in the dark
And there deep in the distance my eye caught a spark
Of a crab twice my size with incredible strength
Oh, it greeted me kindly and then we all drank
And we drooled out together right onto the ground
And the ocean grew up quickly right up all around
And the earth looked at me and said "Wasn't that fun?"
And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone"
And without even thinking cast me into space
But before she did that she wiped off my own face
She said better luck next time don't worry so much
Without ears I couldn't hear I could just feel the touch
As I feel asleep softly at the edge of a cave
But I should have gone deeper but I'm not so brave
I said hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya
Joywave - DoubtWe have been overrun by our animal desire
Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware
Feeding this mutation, this pavlovian despair
We've become disillusioned
So we run towards anything glimmering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis and re connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning into each other, lift all higher
Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within
Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in
Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond
We've become disillusioned
So we dive like crows towards anything glittering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis and re connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning into each other, lift all higher
Tell me all the things I'm supposed to like
What you want to hear, what think is right
I'm not present, my thoughts are misaligned
'Cause every time I close my eyes too tight
It's the Fall of 1929
A panic, playing out in black and white
I fill myself with doubt, I feel like I sold out
I feel like I am down, I'm down without a doubt
I feel like I let down, everyone around
I feel like nothing counts, I'm down without a doubt
I've filled myself with doubt
Maybe I was made for normal life
Where I'm in at nine and I'm out by five
And there's goals, I'd hit them every time
I could sell plans of different types
To wealthy men and their trophy wives
And go home to see the kids at night
I fill myself with doubt, I feel like I sold out
I feel like I've been down, I'm down without a doubt
I feel like I let down, everyone around
I feel like nothing counts, I'm down without a doubt
I've filled myself with doubt
Never good enough, never satisfied with nothing
Never good enough, never satisfied with nothing
Never good enough, never satisfied with nothing
Never good enough, never satisfied with nothing
Never good enough, never satisfied with nothing
Never good enough, never satisfied with nothing
I fill myself with doubt, I feel like I sold out
I feel like I've been down, I'm down without a doubt
I feel like I let down, everyone around
I feel like nothing counts, I'm down without a doubt
I've filled myself with doubt (with doubt, with doubt)

Never heard this one til the Oscar's performance last night. Got a little dusty in our living room.
That was very cool. I love Hugh Jackman as much as any straight man could. Seems like a very cool human being.wtfluff wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 1:35 pmWatch this version:LaMachina wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 7:25 am This is Me

Into the bottom I will go
I feel the daylight choking
Into the vile I've become
I am forever changing
In the cold eternal light
I am the ember fading
Every scar we try to hide
I am the fake you make me
Into the hollow I let go
I see the darkness close in
Into the silence I've become
I am the faith forsaken
In the cold eternal light
I am the ember fading
Every scar we try to hide
I am the fake you make me
Psycho, let go
I am the one embracing
Psycho, faithful
I am the rupture breaking
In the cold eternal light
I am the ember fading
Every scar we try to hide
I am the fake you make me
Psycho, let go
I am the one embracing
Psycho, faithful
I am the rupture breaking
I haven’t seen the movie and this was the first time hearing the song/watching... you warned about tissues and you were not kidding. I had goosebumps the whole time too. Beautiful. Reminds me of parts of Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise.”wtfluff wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 1:35 pmWatch this version:LaMachina wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 7:25 am This is Me
