about

Early in the Covid pandemic, as we all turned ever more online, I watched as friends and families bifurcated into their different echo chambers. Statements that seemed flippant or innocous caused deep divisions as I realized that the opinions I was ridiculing were held by people close to me. We all became like dogs at the window, barking angrily through our screens at people that we would be excited to see face to face.

This song was born out of the regret of that carelessness, and has been tweaked and edited and rerecorded and remixed until it arrived in the form you hear now.

lyrics

i talked to god in a chatroom
told him what i was too scared to do
like everything that he told me to
i called god on a request line
told him what i would like him to do
ignoring you on the other line

and he said

"it rains hard on the wicked
and the righteous alike
the sun shines down on the wicked"
but brother I'm going blind

honey dripping from my lips
with all the toxins i spit out my mouth
when i thought you were not around
gushing out from the same stream
brother i didn't mean what i said
(at least i didn't mean you to hear me)

and they say

"it rains hard on the wicked
and the righteous alike
the sun shines down on the wicked"
but brother i'm going blind

i must diminish
but i still increase
i've cut off all my anchors
cast adrift in the sea
