God or Whatever
That was the night that I first grew my wings
When I saw the stark beauty of the absence of things
That I understood what it was like to never once want
And god or whatever held my hand, nonchalant
He whispered a secret "I'm not really here,
But if it helps you to think so then please persevere
If it helps you get through the bleakness of night
Then believe what you want, that's really all right"
My wings they felt strong and I unfurled them wide
The angels around me they laughed and they cried
And I danced with the souls of the uncertain few
As well as the bodies of the blessed that knew
His words brought my comfort so I kissed his hand
As he spoke one more time that I might understand
"I'm here all around you as true as can be
My love is eternal though imaginary "
