So Matty T wrote this amazing new song called The Calendar, The Energy (If This is You, then Woe is Me). He plays it for his side project called Matthew Thiessen and the Earthquakes. It is actually just him and his guitar and his piano but he likes to pretend that there is more to it. Anyways, this song is actually extremely beautiful. He has this way of writing these witty and creative lyrics that touch you in ways you would have never thought possible. He brings religion, God, life, and everything else into perspective. He makes you take account for your actions and it isn't like he's demeaning about it or anything. He just tells you that you should soften your heart to the world and leave the judging up to God. So, without further ado, here are the lyrics to this amazing piece of art.
The Calendar, The Energy (If This Is You Then Woe Is Me)
I'm looking at a photograph of heaven
And the personnel they let in
Expose the souls they're not afraid to show
I'll analyze the world and all it's people
Concluding everyone is evil
And I more so than anyone
I know
I have my faults
But I'd so much rather look at yours
And pretend I have none at all
But who am I kidding anyway
I won't give you the satisfaction
Of seeing me when I'm like this
Cause honestly you wouldn't like this
So close your eyes and watch me hide
I won't give you the satisfaction
Of seeing me broken and bleeding
A life that is barely still breathing
So close your eyes and watch me hide
Watch me hide
So I'll wander off where no one else can find me
And the silence will remind me
That this is more sobering than
I thought
I could hold on
To that old familiar lie that is
Pretending nothing's wrong
But who am I kidding anyway
And I thought it'd be okay
For innocence to melt away with age
But sometimes as you grow smarter
Your heart grows harder
The stupid things that those around us do
Often make us angry, and teach us not to follow suit
But just be sure your heart stays full
Not emptied out and cynical
Lately, yourself is someone you can't be
And I say if this is you, then woe is me
