Do you feel the way you hate?
Do you hate the way you feel?
Always closer to the flame, ever closer to the blade.
I am poison crazy lush.
Built these hands to lift me up.
We are servants of our formulaic ways.
I’m screaming daisies.
From fourteen miles away.
I’ve got my own time, got it all today.
Make up your mind, need some help to find this mind, mind, mind.
Limbo this and limbo that.
You were this and you were that.
Ever know that what you fear is what you find.
This Indian summer I signed my life away.
There’s a greedy fly in here and I fly away.
Make up your mind, need some help to find this mind, mind, mind.
Make up your mind, need some help to find this mind, mind, mind.
Make up your mind, need some help to find this mind, mind, mind.
Mind, mind, mind, mind, mind, mind.

–Bush, “Greedy Fly”–

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.
–Luke 4:18 (ESV)–
