forget me not
here alone
alone? alone.
some whispered sirens
they’ve started calling me
like blood rushing to the ears
it’s all that i can hear.....

let her out?
let her in? 
she feels like honey on my skin
fuck me gently
fuck me warm
it should be easy
oh it should be hard
oooooooh so sweet
ooh so good to me

why do you see me how i want to be? 
give me patience 
tender kind
forget about what’s long behind

you’re like honey oh so sweet
you smell like a flower i want to eat

IS THIS WHAT ITS LIKE TO LIVE A REAL LIFE?
FUCK IT FUCK IT FUCK IT
you’ve convinced me

will you remember me? 
will you
will you
don’t tell me
don’t tell me
my paper’s running outtttttttttttttttttttttttt

Is Holy

Just One Step Further

In this track River Navaille shares the fears and struggles we collected from our audience before the show as Trevor Lucier and I build a struggle-scape to lead the group into Nirvana's "Something In The Way" from their second studio album, Nevermind. Big shout-out to all the audience members who contributed to the Morticai and Friends performance by sharing these vulnerable thoughts, to my friends and band mates who shared the stage, and their valuable time with me, Kurt Cobain for writing a song that could convey such barriers, and to Elliot who you can hear loudly and proudly singing along in the track.

Thank you to River Navaille who helped me by engaging the audience and Collecting their fears, by being that channel of vulnerability for those who could not share themselves, for going into this with faith, for providing their voice to lay eerily over the room. Thank you to Trevor Lucier who came to my aid to provide light percussion and who with great care created with me soundscapes to lay underneath our songs and coherently lead our audience along with us; For singing proudly behind me and trusting in me when we were all unsure where we may go next. I could not have done it without you two. And to the audience: Thank you to each one of you. For trusting us when things got muddy, For opening up and sharing, for singing along, and for being exactly who you are.
