lyrics

My Savior

My savior awakens through the sun
reading a dictionary by the pool
at an apartment complex where he does not reside.

My savior is tired and horny
but way too graceful to ask the pretty girl passing by
to fuck in the bathroom.

My savior quiets his rushing waterfall mind,
hardens his nipples due to insecurities he has with his man breasts,
looks up at the sky, brews the breeze, allows the sun to be his servant,
and understands why he calls karma darling.

My savior has worked four months in the past four years.
He has finished five books,
two of which are half assed published,
one of which got him in trouble with the US Government,
currently my savior is writing a book he is convinced will be Oprah’s favorite
and raise the awareness of the people of planet earth.

My savior is twenty five and lives at home with his parents.
His mother probably thinks he slightly retarded.
He masturbates an awful lot
and has kidney problems due to a slight fear of letting go of his childhood.
Every day he plays with angels.
Every night he drives around the empty golden headed dark deep streets playing air guitar
to This Is A Long Drive For Someone Who Has Nothing To Think About
pretending he wrote the album back in ninth grade.

My savior would love to get laid
but he knows God will let it happen when it happens.
Right now my savior is preoccupied with his seventeen year old muse Madeline.
He writes moonstruck poetry about their toothbrushes making out with each other.
He begins each poem with an “I hope I am not creeping you out” disclaimer
because a creepy old man is something my savior never wants to come across as
especially when all he really wants to do is hold her hand and smile.

My savior has nothing to hide.
He is an empty coloring book.
He hands the world crayons and lets everyone draw all over him.
If anyone draws outside the lines,
my savior smiles like a freshly baked banana nut bread.

My savior is not afraid to love you
and when my savior is afraid to love you, he is not afraid to tell you.
My savior will start a fight and try to dance his way out of it.
When my savior is about to get his ass kicked,
he will call himself a pussy and run away laughing like a little bitch.
My savior dips your ego in his soul and eats it.

Anytime my savior thinks negatively about anyone,
he knows he is only projecting his deep rooted pain upon another.
My savior knows his healing is your healing; his love is your love.

Sometimes my savior has a difficulty turning shit into love,
he walks around heavy and stinking, speaking in different languages,
asking people to clean his feet.

My savior can be quite pretentious and other times very ignorant.
My savior can go to a funeral and forget what death is
and then ask everyone why they are so sad?

My savior dresses like an alien, dances in department stores, hibernates in electromagnetic waves, and prays to end all human suffering.

My savior is filled with laughter in churches, harmony in temples, merriment in mistakes, and flowers in his heart.

My savior believes politicians to be hilarious, mathematics to be difficult, strippers to be flowers, and God to be love.

My savior makes people feel uncomfortable, beautiful, luxurious, confused, scared, wanted, relieved, remarkable, honest, and holy.

My savior buys alcohol for underage kids, ejaculates in lavish restaurants, meditates in graveyards, and loves every single person from the bottom of his heart.

My savior is genuine, scared, emotional, loving, incredible, compassionate, paranoid, pretty, unstoppable, and down right thankful to exist.
But only a fourth of the time does he realize he is my savior,
most of the time he thinks he is my slave, friend, enemy, grave, twin, father, lover.

My savior races rockets with Jesus, shops for frozen pizza with Shiva,
plays hopscotch with Joesph Campbell,
merges with higher love,
weaves a luminous bridge of light to his soul,
and breathes a golden glow from the top of his head
to the never ending bottom of his infinite universe.

My savior is here to save himself and can only save himself.
