You died at 69
With a body full of cancer
I asked your god
“how could you”
But I never heard an answer
No one saw it coming
the Diagnosis of stage four
The bravest woman I knew
That survived it once before
Last week I crashed my car
I walked away unscathed
Maybe that was you
Asking me to keep my faith
You’d cry at the thought
Of never seeing me again
If there was an afterlife
Or what you’d call heaven
I’ve never felt so selfish, it’s not what I prefer
I always kept it honest, especially for her
She gave me her best,
she swore I was her heart
I couldn’t worship the god that let her fall apart
I’m not sure what I believe
well I think that’s understood
but I know she’s looking out for me
The way she said she would
Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
