"Oh, be patient with me; for the night weighs on my chest with a terrible storm."

I'm tired of life
I'm tired of waiting for someone

“And what difference does it make if the world is a mess?”

“I love you from the top of my heart.”

“Now I have known you
For just a little while
I feel I must be
Wearing my welcome
I must be moving on
For my intentions
Were good intentions
I could have loved you
I could have changed you
I wouldn’t be so
I wouldn’t feel so
Consumed by selfish thoughts
I’m sorry if I
Seem self-effacing
Consumed by selfish thoughts
It’s only that I
Still love you deeply
It’s all the love I got”

“When I die, I’ll rot. But when I live, I’ll give it all I’ve got.”

“It’s different now I think
I wasn’t older yet
I wasn’t wise, I guess
Somewhere I lost whatever else I had
I wasn’t over you
I see it run inside itself
And then I called you out
I’m not such older than I was
I’m feeling so much righter now
And then I woke myself, confused
Your dress comes down
To you, don’t get it wrong, don’t get excited
I wanted so much to be at rest
Now that I’m older
So be it so of love”

“All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth.”

“Found out you cheated me
I ran behind the barn and cut my hands somehow
Blood in the meadowlark
I punched your ears instead
I punched you in the head
You only laughed and laughed and laughed How I was wrong tingling from the kill
Tickle me until you devil bird you evil still
Slept on my arms, I was sleeping in the sill
I was sleeping in the room with you
You little boy, you little boy”

“I’m sorry if I seem self effacing, consumed by selfish thought. It’s only that I still love you deeply, it’s all the love I’ve got.”

“I never meant to cause you pain.
My burden is the weight of a feather.
I never meant to lead you on.
I only meant to please me however.
And then you tell me,
Boy, we can do much more together.
I’m nothing but a selfish man.
I’m nothing but a privileged peddler.
And did you think I’d stay the night?
And did you think I’d love you forever?
And then you tell me, boy, we can do much more -
I got to tell you,
Girl, I want nothing less than pleasure.
I got to tell you,
Boy, we made such a mess together.”

“And at the very center of the universe I saw the Christ Child, an infant baby, helplessly crying, wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in the manger, trembling and suckling and cooing and burping and crying and laughing and giggling and spitting up breast milk all over the place. This was the mysterious incarnation of God, who came to Planet Earth not as a Divine Warrior or a Supernatural Sorcerer or an Army of Alien Androids, but as a helpless newborn baby, probably not much bigger than a six pack of acrylic tube socks. Or maybe a twelve pack.”

“‘You need therapy,’ my sister said. ‘Or a girlfriend.’”

“It’s a long life, only one last chance
Couldn’t get much better, do you wanna dance?
It’s a long life, better pinch yourself
Get your face together, better stand up straight
Boy, we can do much more together
It’s not so impossible”

“She is superduper smart
I like her for her mind
She’ll shoot a super fart
The deadly silent kind
She’s got superhuman lips
For super suction
She’s got superpower hips
For super reproduction”

“I love you from the top of my heart.”

“And in my best behavior
I am really just like him
Look beneath the floorboards
For the secrets I have hid”
