“The way they make you eat the shit out of their hand, as if this is all you know and understand…”
Don’t listen to this album if you’re depressed. It might kill you.
“And all the water you have swallowed down/And all the ways you thought that you would drown/And now you know that they can not take any more/And all you’ve given back is good…”
Songs about faith and God and loss and meaning and quiet, seething rage.
“I’m not strong enough to watch them kill you…”
There are so many sad and slow albums by women out right now that you might lose this one. But don’t. It’s smarter than the others. It’s tougher than the others.
“When their teeth sink in your skin, I will suck the poison out. I will suck the poison out And spit it all back/Into the black holes of their open mouths. Into the black holes of their open mouths”
It’s an incredible piece of writing and vocal performance.
