i’m scared the sky might tumble down from heaven
(I’ve decided to get rid of the lyrical potography tumblr and just integrate those posts here. These are photos that have been inspired by music, part of a project I started long ago, which is now up to about 300 photos)
This one is actually three photographs layered over each other and manipulated in Paint Shop Pro. There’s a photo of birds, one of a church and another of clouds. You can click for the larger version.
Inspired by Far’s Waiting for Sunday, which is a quietly intense song that, in a very understated way, sums up my feelings about religion.
I’m always frightened
I wear my helmet every day
I’m scared the sky might tumble down from heaven
I blame my neighbors
I wish that they’d all move away
They’re all on welfare, kill babies, pass bad laws, start all the wars
I wait for a miracle
I go to big building, I pray
I dance with demons, they whisper my fate
Scare me into thinking I’m saved
We’re all so tired
We wear our raincoats every day
To keep the wet and wind and world out
Waiting for Sunday
