This song comes off of Andrew Jackson Jihad’s 2014 album “Christmas Island”. It is the penultimate track on the record and it recalls the album’s opening track, Temple Grandin. The lyrics and note-progression are similar, but unlike the first track this one is much softer instrumentally. Instead of...
Like a god begging to be murdered
A revolving door that only goes one way
A simple force speaking through a conduit
A baby born on an ordinary day
A Jesus that doesn’t want to be a Jesus
Is given no other choice than to be a Jesus
Understanding life is meaningfully worthless
The world was born to kill all the Jesuses
There’s something big and powerful and wise
And it’s begging us to end its worthless life
So let’s be Temple Grandin for the night
And find a friendly way to make it die
On an empty street in a neighborhood that used to be better
In an empty house once filled with heavy shit
In a nearly empty bed, inside a nearly empty room
I learned it
There’s something big and powerful and wise
And it’s begging us to end its tragic life
So let’s be Temple Grandin for the night
A hug without a human is alright
We’ll find a friendly way to make it die
A hug without a human is alright
We’ll find a friendly way to make it die
