In a statement from Max Bemis: “‘Carrie & Lowell & Cody (Pendent)’ is named (with the brevity of an early Minus the Bear track) after my affinity for Sufjan Steven’s titular album about HIS Mommy issues,” Bemis said. “I adore my mom to death and grew up both sparring and worshiping her, enme...
[Intro: Max Bemis]
Yeah
Yeah, ooh
[Verse 1: Max Bemis]
I self harm with Sufjan
All swole up with martyrdom
The dumb dom she subbed to
I played it cool while being run through
Mom's novel's still edging
I won't spend my life pretending
I loved her for her graceful dwindling
Mom's carcass turns my heart to kindling
Whole life futile, fucking chopping
Blindly at wood: cock, nose, and coffin
Rightfully no dysphoric option
For emo Tom Hardy and his soulful droppings
Equestrian rehab, called Vertava
Israel called me up, said, "Ha ha!
You're the homeless schizo on the street who
Yells out, 'I'm an ally! Look at me!'"
[Pre-Chorus 1: Max Bemis, Brian Warren]
You left me shamefully
David, I miss my—, David, I miss my—
With the scent of women I could be
David, I miss my mom, mom, mom, mom
[Chorus 1: Max Bemis & Sherri Dupree-Bemis]
You bored me blind from death to life because the
Maze you left's on fire tonight, can I
Open my eyes, open my eyes?
High as fuck in the backroom and hear
Idol waves and sonic booms, can I
Open my eyes, open my eyes—
[Post-Chorus 1: Max Bemis]
Without you, without you?
So I peel off—
[Verse 2: Max Bemis]
Jogging highways, no sleep
In the hopes I won't sink too
Deep my daughters cannot fish me out
I'll never do to them what you did to me, Mom
Quarantine is over, those interminable terminals and their
Locked gates didn't have to rob me of your embrace
[Pre-Chorus 2: Max Bemis, Brian Warren]
And you still can't see
David, I miss my—, David, I miss my—
Why I don't believe
In your ha-ha-Hashem
[Chorus 2: Max Bemis & Sherri Dupree-Bemis]
You stitched my gaze back in the garage
And sewed in Donald Trump montages
Can I open my eyes, open my eyes?
My girl's alive and I got Sean and those
Saucy fuckers turn me on, who can
Open my eyes? Open my—
[Post-Chorus 2: Max Bemis]
Only I
(Bah bah bah!)
Only I
(Bah bah bah!)
[Bridge 1: Max Bemis]
In the back of me
There is something that is odd
Think it is I, think it is I! Do right!
Don't you sing everything onto me
Don't you say anything onto me
I don't know why you—
(La, la, la)
[Bridge 2: Max Bemis & Sherri Dupree-Bemis]
Cut my cord away, Ima
Cut my cord away
'Cause I have nothing to show
I have nothing to glow for
(Ima, cut my cord away)
Cut my cord away
Mama, cut my cord away
(Ima, cut my cord)
'Cause I have nothing to show
I have nothing to glow for
[Outro: Max Bemis]
I don't wanna be the things that only you would show me
I could never be like you
I don't wanna be the things that only you would show me
I could never be like you
