about

from "The New Hope" compilation LP, recorded winter 1983 by Scott Godwin at The Island, N Royalton OH

lyrics

I saw a reflection of your face in my mind
greener pastures under a thick cloud of starvation
number 13....shines too brightly
a dark passage of my mind
cobwebs fester there and breed a family named hatred

I’m the closet, I’m the memories you forgot to save
I’m the friend who never came
I’m the group of mourners standing in front of your grave
I’m your last words, I’m exactly what you deserved
I’m the casket in which you lie
your body lies immobile in the hearse that I drive
