about

a not good, very bad, decently out of key demo of a song on acoustic so that I can say I have something on this website. This song will either become a loud, full band punk song or will get significantly slowed down and made into a sad, slow acoustic song. Or both. Who knows.

if you've ever wanted to hear me atonally sing some "ahhhhh"s to an acoustic punk riff, you are certainly in luck.

lyrics

I think i'm a lost cause or I lost the cause
the baptism's worn off
and I'm afraid to confess i'm not elect
holy shit
i don't wanna give it up
coughing fit
[from] cooking vodka in a coffee mug
and i'm a disappointment to a preacher in my head
sex & love & cigarettes
will God still love me if I do this?
there's a voice in my head: it's antinomian and then a legalist
free thought and she's makes contact
not that it matters after marital contract
but this is never really what her parents wanted
what our parents wanted

they say in these personal times, He's either love or He dies,
He's either love or He dies [x2]

lucky me, lucky mud
i got to walk around, i got to feel stuff
i got to watch it all get corrupt and harden up
he's lying awake every night asking the potter why the pot's not right
after shock theology and Freud
and his parent's are church employed

they say in these troubling times, He's either love or He dies
He's either love or He dies [x2]

you
you're the bullet in the head of some dead poet kid
you can call it a holy war
and feel redemptive
there's another nail in the coffer
it's starting to look like it's made for torture
an iron maiden faith for the child that won't come over
thus spake zarathustra:
i'm not gone
but i'm not close to ya
i wanna believe but this holy sutra is layered in san franciscan blood

they say in these horrible times, He's either love or He dies
He's either love or He dies [x2]

[atonal "ahhhh"s]
