about

From the album: The Moraggots Performing as the Sodermen

lyrics

My mama thought that she knew me;
She knew nothing at all.
Nothing at all cuz it all seemed so small,
Not a word of this to the rest if you value your life.
I do what their God says as I dig away.
Away from the smoldering, golden rays,
And into the haze that marks my epiphany,
The final call of days.
The last time I checked there were pots in the sink,
The bills sat unpaid, but that’s just the way...
A life can unfold. A punch between the eyes,
You never grow old....
There’s a marker of stone on which your name’s been carved,
Like the chrome script on the hood of your
Grandfather’s car.
Admit that I gave you a start, sometimes old people fart,
It’s an art.
I lose track of the times when people around me
Said they wished they were dead.
A feeling I shared myself more than once,
But despite that I kept my head
Only thinking thoughts that’s that were nice,
I nearly lost my love of life
And turned away instead.
I lose track of the times when people around me
Said they wished they were dead.
A feeling I had myself more than once,
But despite that I kept my head.
Only thinking thoughts that were nice,
I nearly lost my love of life,
And turned away instead.
I nearly lost my love of life,
And turned away instead.
