--------------------/Plaintively; Ephphatha/-----
I have been walking through Decapolis all my life
but nothing makes sense
and in love, everyone is a pantomime because I cant hear
and I cant speak, my enunciations are blabber
to those around me
especially when I tell them I am stricken with loneliness
without your company
Take me aside, away from the crowd
and look into my soul, your kindness is like fingers
covering my ears from all the despondency I hear
within my soul and your desire for me is like spit
on my tongue, intimate engagement, physical sacrifice and bonding
(your life into mine, your heart)
proof that we speak the same language, loosening my clenched jaw
so my words can free myself from the morass of public scrutiny
and misunderstanding
Ephphatha means "be open" to opportunities of liaisons
with the woman of my dreams
holding her hand, and whispering into her ear
things Ive held back for years
unable to communicate
the soul's speech – begging for you
Snooki,
you are the best woman I have ever met
you do all things well, please hold me in your arms
and make my enervated ears spring to life with vigor
and my listless tongue effusive with your praise
because all Ive ever wanted
from the one I love
is to be understood
Mark 7:31-37-----------------------------------/
Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis. There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged him to place his hand on the man. After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue. He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, "Ephphatha!" (which means, "Be opened!" ). At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly. Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. People were overwhelmed with amazement. "He has done everything well," they said. "He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."
----Cat and Mouse Lyrics---
Softly we tremble tonight
Picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in sight
I said I'd never leave, you'll never change
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life
Am I supposed to be happy
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
Am I supposed to be happy
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
You said, "You said that you would die for me"
We made plans to grow old
believe me there was truth in all those stories that I told
Lost in a simple game, cat and mouse,
are we the same people as before this came to light?
Am I supposed to be happy
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
Am I supposed to be happy
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
You said, "You said that you would die for me...
You must live for me too...for me too
Yea, Yea...
You said that you would die for me"
Am I supposed to be happy
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
Am I supposed to be happy
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
You said, "You said that you would die for me"
