Gospel of Beauty

from And Other Stories by What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?

about

Beauty is a strange thing. We know it when we see it. Yet, we measure it in so many different ways. There's the accepted beauty of a runway model. There's the inward beauty of courageous survivor. There's the immense beauty of nature. And there's that beautiful effortless grace that we worship in others. Those ones that we want to lose ourselves inside of. The ones that can betray us over and over, and yet, we still come back for any crumbs they have to offer. Perhaps, in their eyes we see some lost reflection of ourselves. And for some twisted reason we think we can find it in someone else. We look outside ourselves. But it's like a tiny mirror at the bottom of a dark pool. We keep diving in trying to retrieve it, but it's always just beyond our reach. And every time we go deeper, we risk drowning.

lyrics

THE GOSPEL OF BEAUTY

Such tender grace
Such a sad and handsome face
Devastates the room
It’s a cruel reminder
If I open any wider
I’m sure to be consumed

Chorus:
It’s the gospel of beauty
All your sins melt away
And I’ll forget how you almost killed me
I’ll forget the price I’ve had to pay

Such nobility
Brings us to our knees
And humbles our scheming minds
Now you re-appear
As if we’ve sleepwalked the years
We rush to form a line

Repeat Chorus

And everyone imagines
That with you they share some
Secret connection
But you’re not here
To offer us redemption
No you’re just a
Lovely fire
We feed
With our desire
