lyrics

Oh, no sir! you can’t leave that here
There’s absolutely no room for that here
I know it’s a trial to part from your things
But, you see, my raft will sink
And so I suggest we embark
But be firm and quick
Or we’ll miss our gate

Hey, say, it’s nice to have one more friend
How are things out under that one soft star
I’ve heard lots about?
I suppose you’re still scared
But, you see, where you think that you are
Is exactly where you are

Take this, row.
Put some legs in it.
Put your back in it.
Put your toe in that hole in the floor—Jesus.
Don’t you fucking quit.
Give your all to it.
Or throw your body off my raft
Don’t you see, we’ll sink!

Now go on, make your introduction.
Go on, tell them your real name.
Go on, be who you couldn’t be.
I’ll leave it to you now that you are free
Of everything that held you down in your old goddamn life
Nice and easy now.
Please go inside.
We’ve been expecting you all night—

There is no escape
Compromise or abatement
You get what you get
You get what’s been coming
I’ve always been fair
I’m not in the habit of
Punishing life
For honest mistakes
We both know what is and isn’t forgivable

Don’t you regret
Take it as learned
Don’t you repent
Take it as earned
Walk down the hall
To the sound of your old life fleeting
We both know what is and isn’t forgivable

You’re white as slate!
I knew it in your heart you weren’t sinning
You were living freely
I was young, I had my fun
I know the markings clearly
I don’t see hardness in you.
You belong right here.

The Anhedonians El Paso, Texas

The Anhedonians are a progressive and experimental rock band from El Paso Texas. Rooted in rock, folk and metal traditions, The Anhedonians build stark -- sometimes muscular, sometimes precarious, sometimes fragile -- sonic imaginaeria where voices from mythology and drama rise, declaim and fall away again. ... more
