Sometimes I feel as though
All I have left of you in me is this Catholic guilt
And a Southern Baptist way of not living well without fear
But I cannot blame you for all of this

In these four walls
There’s something more
Than the antiwar
Songs our fathers bore

These days I feel as though
Nothing has ever left me with the skills to cope
She says “you’re lost in the most exquisite way”
But I cannot help to feel otherwise

In these four walls
There’s something more
Than the antiwar
Songs our fathers bore

She has left me speechless
In the most exquisite way
I cannot find a means to break this to you softy
But I hope you’ll understand

That in these four walls
There’s something more
Than the antiwar
Songs our fathers bore


FOREIGN HOME - Catholic Guilt

This is a remix of Pink Noise from Foreign Home's EP How Strange the Night. It was remixed by Nocturnal Youth.

Pink Noise (Nocturnal Youth Remix)

We believe these lions won't
But these lions won't hesitate
To kill us where we stand

The master of ceremonies
Is resolute to remain
In charge over all these autonomous beasts
Waiting to be untamed

Let's pay our admission
To enjoy the show
Then wait to see what resigns first
The animals, ring master, or this hoax

The troupe shows there
Resolve to save this show
While the onlookers lose
Hope

With the final curtain call
The players were left out in the cold
No audience wanted to be part of this finale
Of mutiny & of discord

Hoax

I long to be like a child
Tying paper leaves
To a tree that long ago
Went to a wintry sleep
Scaling the tallest branches
With scissors, parchment, & string
To replace the fallen leaves

Push through our fatigue
Like words forced through my teeth
Sing I won't let you go
So easily this time

When we give in
To the truth
A southern wind
Will come to carry you
With ashes from the streets
Were we once rode
Like sketches on the pages
Where you once wrote

I will see you there
Like that day in the tree
But I won't let you go
So easily this time
No I won't let you go
So easily this time

When upon that day
We will celebrate
That I won't let you go
So easily this time
No I won't let you go
So easily this time
