Jars. Of. Clay. -Wisdom In Small Bits, From "The Long Fall Back To Earth"

So here's some snippets from Jars of Clay's new CD The Long Fall Back to Earth. Why did I post them? Cause this CD is life changingly spectacular, and I wanted to share its awesomeness. Please check it out and tell me what you think.


"Hallelujah, we can finally see. It's a miracle we feel anything at all. So lay your weapons down. There are no enemies in front of you." -Weapons

"I have a broken disposition: I'm a liar who thirsts for the truth. And while I ache for faith to hold me, I need to feel the scars and see the proof." - Two Hands

"But if you want my love, well you've got to get close to me. If you need my love well you've got to get closer to me. Oh, if you want my love.....I don't understand why we can't get close enough. I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up. No, I don't understand why we can't get close enough. I'll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up." -Closer

"I search for shelter near the mines we swept. I guess forgiveness hasn't happened yet. There are no words that I can say to you to turn this careless sky from black to blue. So I'm asking you...is it safe? Is it safe to land? Cause I'm not going far on an empty heart. Is it safe? Is it safe to land? Cause the long fall back to earth is the hardest part." -Safe to Land

"I don't have to hear it, if I don't want to. I can drown this out. Pull the curtains down on you. It's a heavy world. It's too much for me to care. If I close my eyes, it's not there...with my headphones on. " -Headphones

"You told them that I hung the moon. It was a lonely sliver hanging from the sky. I said I put it there for you. I didn't think that it would make you cry. Don't stop, don't stop for me now."- Don't Stop

"Lesson one, do not hide. Lesson two, there are right ways to fight. And if you have questions, we can talk through the night. So you know who you are, and you know what you want. I've been where you're going , and it's not that far. It's too far to walk, but you don't have to run. You'll get there in time." -Boys (Lesson One)
