What did we do to deserve this? A cruel fate for a beautiful soul It's like life's framework collapses each year that we grow older And we're left to build it back up with calloused fingers, broken hands. and we made god in our image, just to shoot him in the head. How many blows can this building take? Nothing but holes, yet still it holds. The death and the sickness, The government's gone to bed, The sun is shining bright, and still I kinda wanna die, cause a world without you is no world at all. Now the house is caving in, and the tumor lays in wait, the existential dread, the love and the hate, the bitterness sets in, and the joy subsides that's just life, is that right? So we'll cling to it, like wet leaves on the pavement. We were always waiting for the shoe to drop, Here it is.

about

I wrote this track last year during a tumultuous time. We discovered our house was built improperly -- and sinking. Our long time pup came down with cancer. Our very young daughter lost her health insurance due to government bullshit. We had to move out of our home for three months to repair said sinking. And here we are a year later.. our house is (mostly) back to where it should be, our pup is still with us, and our daughter is insured again. Now we just have to deal with a pandemic..

I've had this one on the burner for awhile now, not quite knowing the right time to release it. Upon revisiting it, I realize that the lyrics take on an entirely new meaning during Covid-Mania 2020. It feels like the world is crashing down all over again. But you have to remember, like all things in life, this too shall pass.

--Thanks to AJ Estrada of Hotel of the Laughing Tree for the beaut artwork. He also massively contributed to the sound of this song, as I wasn't really sure where to go with it sonically. We did some back and forth and really came up with something we love.--
