21st century hymns

i'm tired again
i'm so tired

let's put on songs from five years ago
and dance in the lounge
furiously
for 2.08 minutes

our mouths don't work
they are dangerous anyway
so we can't try
to qualify this thing for which there are no words
or i guess that's how it seems

do your hands smell like lemons
my hands smell like lemons

i liked it when i didn't know what my reflection looked like
and now i feel way too aware of it and everything else
and all the places i see have memories
and i make attempts to imagine my face reacting

the song is over already
change it to that sad one with the slow lyrics
and we'll collapse and your head will be close to my head

can we just listen
for a while

pun lief

I've never been to a church service

I’ve been to weddings and funerals at churches

I used to get out audio books of bible stories because I liked the stories. Samson was awesome

In primary school I was in the school choir. It wasn’t a good choir and I wasn’t one of the best in it. The Christmas songs were my favourite. Some of them were religious and some of them weren’t

When I was 17 I travelled around Europe for 6 weeks with my family. We visited a lot of beautiful churches. I sat and thought thoughts that might have been prayers

I have a Christian friend who is very involved with his church. I went to his youth group twice. The first time was fun, the second not so much

There’s a great Hare Krishna about five minutes walk for my house. They play music through speakers there and all the songs have the same lyrics

A lot of the rappers I listen to wear iced out Jesus chains
