so emo

halifax...you make me laugh. and cry.

I'll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass
I'll hand you the sharpest one
To place it right in my back

listening to music like that...how can you NOT be in a horrible mood all the time? Back in the day, I loved listening to it. Now...I can listen to it and laugh, but it also makes me sad that people feel like that enough to write songs about it.

Matthew 12:34 is Jesus talking to the Pharisees, and he says to them "You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks"
And in 15:18 it says "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man"

Luke 6:45 says "The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks"

Scary thought, huh? that what you say comes from your heart. It makes me pause and think about every time I say something sarcastically, or say something insulting. I have to stop and think...is this really what is going on in my heart? If i say "just kidding!" or "i'm sorry i didn't mean it!" I think I might be lying...because if i say it, it must be in my heart in some way or shape.

therefore...as the psalmis says in psalm 19:14, "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."
