We’d wear our finest clothes and
pack tight in tiny row and
sing songs that someone wrote to guide us towards the truth
when those words caught inside my mouth
I’d bite my tongue and spit them out
believing tasted great but was impossible to choose
cause your God, he clangs on the latitude lines
always at the worst times
when you finally shut your eyes
your God, he waits with the keys on his side
and passes the time
making up the strangest stories for your life
and I don't know what happens when we die
but that won't change the way I live my life
Write down your fears and hopes and
stick those in envelopes and
send them out with no address; they never will be read
cause prayers good when needing therapy
focus, heal, and find priority
don't pretend they have affect when buried in your head
And I lost each belief like baby teeth
one by one I pulled them gradually
some would come out looking clean but all the rest would bleed
I could listen to the lessons but my head won’t let me hear it and believe
and I don't know what happens when we die
but that won't change the way I live my life
And I lost each belief like baby teeth
one by one I pulled them gradually
some would come out looking clean but all the rest would bleed
I could listen to the lessons but my head won’t let me hear it and believe
and I don't know what happens when we die
but that won't change the way I live my life
and all I want before my times is up
is a life that made a difference to someone

I love this album because it seamlessly combines a spoken word narrative with music. I love how sonically diverse it is!
I also love the fact that, even though the album is about a very specific life experience, the album contains emotions that feel very universal. Overall, it's a great listen. elainachristine
A solarpunk concept album set in the not-too-distant tomorrow, Tom John Hall uses elegantly wrought art rock to tell a winding tale. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 25, 2023
Bright, gorgeous, bashing songs from these Belgian shoegazers that never lose track of melody amidst the waves of distortion. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 23, 2023
Found this through my poor Spotify trying desperately to find what I might like to listen to. Not at all my normal type of music but it actually made me stop and listen. Delightful from beginning to end. It's gone onto my DAP to become part of my normal rotation of music. vonvanna
