Host Jason Schreurs welcomes comedian and Arson Charge screamer Ben Roy to the podcast. Ben talks about how the sexual abuse he experienced as a child shaped his adult life. Punk rock and comedy were places where Ben had permission, and was encouraged, to speak out against the injustice he and so many others have faced. Over time, he has learned ways to process the pain of his past and channel it into music and comedy.

Paranoia

Der Altar in uns ist jener heilige Ort im Geist, an dem Gott seine Schöpfung unverändert bewahrt. Dort, in der stillen Tiefe unseres wahren Seins, ist nichts beschädigt, nichts verloren, nichts geschehen. Es gibt dort keine Schuld, keinen Irrtum, nur das Licht, das wir mit Ihm teilen und das ewig in uns leuchtet.

depressioncore

You see me goin’ up,
You see me goin’ up, and you don’t like that.
Girl, it’s your fault — yeah, you held me back.
Thought you were the one, now where are you at?
Got a glass heart, and you left it cracked.
You see me goin’ up,
You see me goin’ up, and now you mad.
Everything that I would say would cause an argument.
She want me to fix her walls like I’m an architect.
Baby, I want you back, but I ain’t gon’ beg.
Would you cry, would you cry if I was dead?
I pray nothing happens to you — take me instead.
I pray for you, that you have the best.
Baby, I’m so sorry, yeah, I was a mess.
I’m always on go, I’m always on go, ion get no rest.
Baby, I don’t know, you gotta put you to test.
She like, “Where you from?” I’m from the West.
Baby, I can’t get enough — any love left?
The way that you left me, I can’t forget it.
When you left me alone, girl, my mind was spinning.
I was like, “Hold on, wait — wait for a minute.”
Baby, it feels like you already made the decision.
Girl, you cut me deep like an incision.
Knew you would do me dirty, yeah, I had a vision.
Yeah, it’s alright, I got my mission.
Wish we could start over, baby, yeah, I’m wishing.
You see me goin’ up,
You see me goin’ up, and you don’t like that.
Girl, it’s your fault — yeah, you held me back.
Thought you were the one, now where are you at?
Got a glass heart, and you left it cracked.
You see me goin’ up,
You see me goin’ up, and now you mad.
Everything that I would say would cause an argument.
She want me to fix her walls like I’m an architect.
Baby, I want you back, but I ain’t gon’ beg.
