tomato juice, horse radish, and sardines kilbasa too and, pierogi always anchovies and apple fritters slithered down his throat he used to go to dairy queen on his way home from work and hide the wrappers in his car we're all afraid of who we are ice cream was his favorite butter pecan sometimes on sundays with a toaster waffle oh drinking lots of coffee feeling very stressed convincing himself it's my mother he loves best he used to go to dairy queen on his way home from work and hide the wrappers in his car we're all afraid of who we are

i used to sit on your shoulders but, now i'm sitting on the ground elevation changes your perspective, while everyone was looking up i was looking down now i'm on the ground and lonely, without your shoulders to sit on and i have to strain my neck to see you but, i don't know where i'm looking cause you're gone you're gone you're gone oh god is dead god is dead god is dead, and gone he got fucked up inside your head he got fucked up inside your head, and now he is dead now, he is dead now, he is dead now he is dead implanted by another endorsed, by all your mothers implanted by another endorsed, by all your mothers all the same god is dead god is dead god is dead, and gone

about

this is an album about death; about losing your idols and deities and about that very sensitive and lonely place where you wonder where to go from here, now that there is nothing. it is about reaching out for a hand into the darkness, reaching and groping and finding nothing. we are alone and it is okay. we are lonely and sad and we are exhausted from running away. it is okay. just sit down. just listen to this really sad album and embrace that you and everyone you know is going to die, and that it is beautiful or okay or something.
