McKenzie Jasper Lyrics - Come Back from the Deep

McKenzie Jasper - Come Back from the Deep

Down in the alley
Away, six floors down
He could see a cracked flower pot
Scattered over a spray of dirt
And something pink
Sticking out of a green paper bow
It was down six floors
Smashed down six floors

Fuck said the modern man
The post modern soliloquist
Talking in circles
Around his friend the ventriloquist

I keep running around

I don't understand Ivan
What does it mean

FRIGHT with emphasis no, it's you
With force accusatory tone

Is this just a wild fantasy or
A mistake on the part of the old man
Some impossible quid pro quo

For the secret of man's being
Is not only to live
But to have something to live for
Without a stable conception
Of the object of life
Man would not consent to go on living
And would rather destroy himself
Than remain on earth
Though he had bread in abundance
That is true
But what happened
Instead of taking men's freedom from them
Thou didst make it greater than ever
Didst Thou forget that man prefers peace
And even death to freedom of choice
In the knowledge of good and evil

Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark
For the straightforward pathway had been lost

But that's absurd he cried flushing
Your poem is in praise of Jesus
It does not blame him as you meant it to do
And who will believe you about freedom
Is that the way to understand it
That's not the idea of it
In the Orthodox Church

Feast or famine

You can't believe
What your feelings teach ya
You've gotta go your own way

Spread your wings and
Fly away over the sea
As it drowns the world

But the little sticky leaves
And the precious graves
And the blue sky
And the woman you love
How will you live
How will you love them

With such a hell
In your heart and your head
How can you
No, that's just what you are going away for
To join them
If not you will kill yourself
You can't endure it

Everything is permitted
Everything is permitted is that it

Catch all the rainfall
In your Blue Bucket of Gold
Where do your footsteps fall
When you're getting older
Every day I'm getting older

Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back

From the Deep
