In Love With The Greenery
Written under the guise of God speaking to one person in particular, it was most noted for its interesting imagery which changed from line to line. The notion is that God is truly pained by seeing His children suffer in wrong decisions. The originally read "You took on the world, it took me by surprise...", but Aaron felt that it was a bad representation of what God knows, that is, nothing takes Him by surprise. Aaron was right. I changed the line.
You said, "I love the world"
"I love what you've done for me"
you let my grip go
And played the piano keys
Couldn't even see
Boxed in by a fantasy
Scared of real love
You're dead by your destiny
Now shuffling around
Shaking like a tambourine
Confused like the tide
By every star you've seen
You took on the world
It took you by surprise
Like the day you fell
And tears fell from my eyes
Standing so tall
You said, "Yes I'll salute you King"
Lost in a forest
In love with the greenery
Apart from the crowd
Never caught looking
around for a scene
Like loneliness you're sinking
I cried of your sin
And every other thing
that held you down
Down so far from me
Take diamonds right now
But I promise eternity
You said, "I love the world"
"I love what you've done for me"
you let my grip go
And played the piano keys
Couldn't even see
Boxed in by a fantasy
Scared of real love
You're dead by your destiny
Now shuffling around
Shaking like a tambourine
Confused like the tide
By every star you've seen
You took on the world
It took you by surprise
Like the day you fell
And tears fell from my eyes
Standing so tall
You said, "Yes I'll salute you King"
Lost in a forest
In love with the greenery
Apart from the crowd
Never caught looking
around for a scene
Like loneliness you're sinking
I cried of your sin
And every other thing
that held you down
Down so far from me
Take diamonds right now
But I promise eternity
