Guest vocals by Jason Tankerly
lyrics
Long before there was blood in Tucson
Long before we had a Columbine
I fantasized of doing murder
I’d pull the trigger and I’d let the bullets fly
We all play a part in these disasters
There ain’t a human that was born to hate
There’s only so much weight to carry
Before the strongest mule’s back is gonna break
Gun shots ring out. Was this the only way?
There’s no denying that these times are violent
And we’re all feeding on the blood
We fantasize of the next big drama
There’s no pulpit louder than a smoking gun
Gun shots ring out. Was this the only way?
You build your distance from the hate and violence
I see the blood running down your arms
You build your distance from the land divided
Your words alone won’t get you very far
You took it way too far

Juxtaposing poetic balladry with roaring feedback and warped piano lines, the Vermonter's music is as stunning as it is unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
