Sorry for the late post friends. The day got away from me, and all the sudden it was 10:00pm and I hadn't blogged. Yikes.
This week I'm going with one of my favorite bands from when I was in the 9th grade. Well, I don't think they had recorded this song at that time, but they had recorded the CD "lost and gone forever" and the freshman girls softball team would listen to it all the time in the locker room.
This particular song I really loved when I worked at god camp. The lyrics just seemed kinda fitting at a time when I was working with kids, telling them things about a god and a religion that I didn't know if I believed in. In particular, the lyrics "it’s easier sometimes / Not to be sincere / Somehow I make you believe" struck a chord with me. At the time I also felt the song was fitting since working at camp felt a little like being forced back into the closet a little bit. It was more of a "don't ask, don't tell" sort of feeling.
My words confuse you
My eyes don’t move a blink
Cause it’s easier sometimes
Not to be sincere
Somehow I make you believe
Believe
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
Honest is easy
Fiction is where genius lies
Cause it’s easier sometimes
Not to be involved
Somehow I make you believe
Believe
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt

this is a great song!
it reminds me of the time that i taught religious ed to a bunch of 6th graders...and when we got to the part about sex/abstinence/being gay/etc....
the book i had to use actually said that it was important to love homosexuals but to not accept them (love the sinner not the sin)...the kids, however, saw right through me...and, well, hopefully through the book (for the most part)...they would always ask me my personal opinion on the matter and argue with what the book said on the issue. it was a very fine line to walk...
it was during this time that i started to pull away from the church and believing in catholicism...i felt like such a liar to these kids most of the time because i didn't believe in hardly anything that i had to 'teach' them (other than the golden rule).
anyway, this is a great song! thanks for sharing :)
