Last night in a church van the clock said 11:11, and a friend tapped it and made a wish. Hilarious. It reminded me of one of my favorite Caedmon's lyrics, and it got me to thinking about all of my other favorite Caedmon's lyrics. Here's a brief list:
It seems I've misplaced my faith, 'cause it's 11:12, and still nothin's changed.
The only problem I have with these mysteries is they're so mysterious.
I'm so scared of being alone that I forgot what house I live in.
Give me purity and give me continence...But, oh no, not yet.
All things considered, we're both certifiably insane.
You are no more than a piece of glass.
I get turned around, and I mistake my happiness for blessing.
It's like I ripped my arm right off and left it, and now I guess it wasn't mine at all.
You can read all about it, about boy-meets-girl, and then he screws the whole thing up, just like always.
When everything looks pretty, it's easy to think you've found the way, but it's all just a big masquerade.
For better or for worse, we both know I'm the wrong man for the job.
I've done the work of Sisyphus, thinking that I could get over this hill.
I may never find the sleep I've lost all feeling in my hands and feet may touch the ground but my mind's somewhere north of here.
