Ode to Abraxas / Dream of the Devil

"The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Whoever wants to be born must destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas" - Hermann Hesse, Demian

i met the Devil in my dreams
he was more or less than what he seemed
he was more or less the same as me
he was more or less brought up on greed.
he is more or less a man i know.
he is more or less inside us all.
he taught me how to shrink, he taught me how to grow
and that's the day i lost my soul

i met God inside my dreams
he was more or less than what he seemed
he was more or less the same as me
he was more or less brought up on greed.
he is more or less a man i know.
he is more or less inside us all.
he taught me how to shrink, he taught me how to grow
and that's the day i lost my soul

i got my soul back in the trees.
it was more or less just like a dream
it made me into what you see
it made me forget all my greed
the trees are all like men i know
every one of them have souls
i sat in the trees and i faced the facts
thats how i got my soul back.

if anyone feels like playing this and singing this or maybe even writing this song better than me, go for it.

Because it's uncivilized...put a fucking shirt on.

[estabutta]

That porch, the yellow light reminds me so much of living in the Smoky Mountians right across from WCU. Man, to wake up to that every morning again. People were destroying the mountains and it was too painful to watch.
