This is one of my favorite songs on our side of the After The Fall split 7”. I wrote it while we were in an area of the country whose radio stations play only County, Western, and Country-Western. A gentleman was condemning “sodomites” for tarnishing the image of the United States, making it into “the Whore of Babylon.” Empathy was my response.

“I lit a candle in church just to watch it burn. Light up the room! Empathy is more than faith in words or prayers whispered to statues.”

One of the coolest CL songs, so short and punchy and fucking awesome.

I stretched my skin and dried, sewed myself up and filled it to the neck with wine, but still we lie. Back’s to hell facing the moonlight. Has the well run dry? No, the well’s half empty with a boy trapped inside, alive, scraping the surface trying to see the light.

When the hammer comes down will it bend the nail at the neck? Or scar the hand of the martyr that you’d hoped to resurrect? When death is infinite will your God ask you, “What did you expect?” When the hammer comes down will it only leave a dent?

I heard the truth once, and like a lucid dream I awoke one morning to hear the prophets plead. “So much to say. So much to sing. So what’s to think? Nobody’s listening…” 

When the hammer comes down will it bend the nail at the neck? Or scar the hand of the martyr that you’d hoped to resurrect? When death is infinite will your God ask you, “What did you expect?”

When the hammer comes down will it only leave a dent?

She asked for planes, but only got straw wings
And I broke my arm trying to fly.
Still we’ll spread out to both horizon lines,
Won’t stop running until the day I die.
