MENTAL ED

ABYSS

"Pretty Polly's Revenge" - based on the murder ballad "Pretty Polly" 

Pretty Polly is a classic folk ballad about a lady who falls for the wrong man and gets murdered. 

I've always been intrigued by folklore where a ghostly woman in a white dress appears ominously. I combined the stories to write this narrative/song where the ghost in white is Polly, seeking revenge on the man who betrayed her. 

LYRICS:
The open sky
One night in June
Just you and I
Beneath the moon

You’ll never know
What you don’t see
What I can I show
Who will I be

I was waiting in my white dress
When you held me in your arms
But your heart was hard and reckless
Too inclined to mean me harm

And I met you there at midnight
Holding everything I owned
While the moon was burning bright
And I was shining like that stone

We made a pact
You gave your vow
Some perfect act
Just take a bow

My eyes were full of hope
And yours were full of sin
But I didn’t see the rope
And I can’t recall the end

I was standing in the starlight
Holding everything I owned
The moon was burning bright
And I was shining like that stone

I was waiting in my white dress
When you held me in your arms
But your heart was like an abscess
Too inclined to mean me harm

You remember dear
Every tale you told
When all the world was green

It is quiet here
Where the earth is cold
No one could hear me scream

But you carried me
Through the field of gold
That shimmered like a dream

And you buried me
With the hate you hold
Where all the world is green

The open sky
This night in June
You have returned
Beneath the moon

What I can I show
Who do you see
And will you know
That it is me

I was waiting in my white dress
When you held me in your arms
But your heart was hard and reckless
Too inclined to mean me harm

I am buried in my grey gown
I will wait for all of time
Till the wickedness you found
Will call you back and make you mine

What I can I know
Who will I be
You down below
Me finally free

The open sky
One night in June
Just you and I
Beneath the moon

OTHER NOTES:
This song is based on "Pretty Polly," a murder ballad style folk song. This is kind of a sequel where Polly seeks her revenge.

The "all the world is green line" is reference to the Tom Waits song "all the world is green" where the singer begs their lover to remember the good old days.  The face forgives the mirror, but Polly forgives nothing.

LYRICS:

We could be human
We could be human if we tried
But where have you been
With all the hate I keep inside

I have no answer
You have no fear
You ate my cancer
I am not here
I am not here /I am not here

Everything is haunted 
By the shadow in my head
Everything I say
You can’t believe

You tell me what you wanted
When I waited in your bed
Every other day
I try to leave

We could be human
We could be human if we tried
Who will you hate when
You have seen everything I hide

You could be angry
Then bite my tongue
This heart will hang me
Before we’re done

Before we’re done/ Can we we’re done
Repeat (ad nauseam)

Now and then I recognize
When I don’t give a damn
Pain will find a way
To make me learn

How can I apologize 
For everything I am
Did you only stay 
To watch me burn

I am inhuman
I could be sorry that I lied
But where have you been
When I was waiting in the tide

I held you tightly
You held me fast
It burned too brightly
We never last

Everything is better
When you’re running out of time
even pain is pleasure 
at the end

Keep it like a letter
That you know I’ll never find
Tell me that you treasure
every sin

We could be human
We could be human if we tried
But where have you been
You should have seen it when I lied

Thunder's Reign

The 3rd EP by CHAD ERICKSON & THE UNTIMELY

JUST WORKS THAT WAY

Last week I collaborated on some songwriting with songbird Andra Suchy and this is what came out of the air.  I guess you could say the state of Minnesota is in a funk.  This song kinda hits you in the gut with the loss we are all still dealing with.
