Lyrics
The human mind is a pile of shit
New life takes root in it
Grows into the most complicated formations
With stunning colors and branches reaching up
Toward the heaven that they long to touch
Trying to get just a brief audience with the sun
They wanna ask the sun to shine down
And warm the pile of shit they come from
These desperate sprouts all clustered around
Like a gospel choir with their arms raised up
Poor girl a long way from heaven
April 4th, 1993:
God came down to talk with me
Threw a stone at my window to get my attention
She motioned to me to climb down my wall
I shook my head. I was afraid to fall
I was young and I didn’t wanna trouble my mother
And now I am a wretched old crone
Who swears that God once came to her home
I keep a lone candle burning upon my little windowsill
So She knows I’m home
Poor girl a long way from heaven
How they’ll talk about you
How they’ll spill your blood
How they’ll love you when you’re gone for good

I think the pregnant jesus lady was symbolism for the social oppression of something or another... Very moving...
Agreed!! Every single element hit every single oppression we are going through
is this Ezra's U2 phase
His voice and songs are unique and for liked by rare personalities.
I also looking for his song 🎵
" Sex education right a way "
When it's coming.
*her voice :)
Joan of Arc NOW
Anyone here after sex education?
bad music and decadent images, what a combo of dreariness.
Less she-males, more real women.
SORRY, BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PUT A CROWN OF THORNS ON YOUR HEAD AND MOCK JESUS LIKE THAT. THAT IS WHAT MAKES YOU 'A LONG WAY FROM HEAVEN'. NOT MY JUDGMENT, BUT GOD'S.
Source?
Get a grip lol
When and where did she mock Jesus Christ?Try to look beneath the surface and ask yourself, did any part of this video go against what Jesus preached? And I do mean what Jesus himself preached, not what the church told you about him 2000 years later.
The way "Christians" target marginalize people in this country mocks Jesus. Maybe go after the ones desecrating the message and not using the imagery for art
I’m sorry but Jesus can’t gatekeep a crown of thorns. 💀
