A Lesson on How the Earth Began

God came home to his house today and it was burned straight to the ground And sat there and he touched that ash and didn’t make a sound He had made a man and gave him pain so that he’d know how to feel To feel the rip inside his chest, to find a way to kill…

To kill the thoughts of what he meant and what he never said To watch them all just walk away to give them up for dead And now he sits all alone with his ash blacked golden feet And knows that he did today was nothing short of sweet

God came home to his house today and found her with man of men He pulled a knife from a cutlery rack and stared right at their sin It was spread across the cotton sheets a hair or two not his And he closed his eyes and took a breathe and killed her with his kiss

To kiss a girl so pretty sweet light and feathered thin To watch her just walk away, sun glowing on her skin Now he sits all alone just staring at her face Glass plastic film and wooden frame taken from its place.

God came home to his house today and first created fire It was the only thing you see that could match his desire He watched the flames flicker out, in and out of there And watched the flames leap lick up and singe her crystal hair

To light a match to burn it out the one thing he loved the most To light a match and watch her burn, and blow away the smoke Now he sits all alone in there with his ash blacked golden feet And he knows what he did today was nothing short of sweet. Yes, he knows what he did today was nothing short of sweet.
