lyrics

You were screaming with your face all pink
And the tears all on your cheeks
Your little body thrashing against anything
to blame

Just swinging your arms

At the world that had wronged you,
Could not console you,
Though the only answer was tears
This you knew

But comes a time when we box them away
Corrugated into walls, all masked over with tape
And when they’re gone we sing a different song
This he knew

I was yelling with my face all red
My cardboard teeth were shielding me from whatever I thought you’d said
And my righteous tongue was thrashing against you,
Who were to blame

Just swinging my arms

And walking toward you
No comfort could you afford
Though the only answer was tears
This you knew

But comes a time when the world takes your tongue
When all those you’ve loved are gone, no one’s left around to blame
And when they’re gone we play another game
This he knew

~

What do you do?
What do you do?
What do you do with the mad?

~

He was screaming with his jaw clenched tight
Screaming down each life like it was an unfought fight
His hot steel body thrashing against the world
that was to blame

Just swinging your arms in the crowd,
And if anyone came too close it was their fault they got gunned down.

In that world that had wronged you
Before it consoled you
In less than a minute, one more boy to fall
This, too, you knew.

Cedar Bozeman, montana

These sounds live in a place between melody and drone, soundscape and song; between field recordings of wind, and rivers of distortion and noise. Richly textured, emotive, horrific, and deeply personal.
