Call it off, please, call it off Come in, here from that locked room, so we can decide what to do with you And the bishop asks, "where did you touch her? who was it with? how many times? did it feel good?” The pain of god, that is the cost, on your knees with your palms, forced into you stomach and your head And one of them hugs me and he says, "In my heart of hearts, I know you'll repent, and do the right thing. Make us proud. You're so young now" and I thought to myself, I don't want this anymore, I wanna walk through that door and never think, of this again

Could've loved you in the morning now every morning seems the same We use to argue every morning till every morning seemed the same Back when I thought I knew what love was, when I thought I'd never change And when did I left my world and, collapsed all my family veins, Then I took all my clothes off, to see if I would still feel shame I feel relief that I left you but some things never go away I could've loved you in the morning now every morning seems the same We use to argue every morning till every morning seemed the same

Slowly drift away Slowly falling away Hold me as I drift away As I shake in the bed it became clear, that there’s no way I could ever belong here, council sent me home with thoughts impure, they said sex was next to murder And they told me I could never love a man, and a woman’s touch was out of hand, all the horrid shit they said was true, the shame stopped me from telling you And the disgust in myself it grew and grew, and it hurts to know this was killing you, but trust me it continues to kill me too, and I’ll carry these regrets through and through The pills that soothe they fuck my mind never know if they’re ever the right kind, I see things crawl like animals, I know they’re not real but they seem so close

about

This album slowly became a concept of stories surrounding my upbringing with the LDS church till my eventual departure. But I hope these universal themes of love, repression, hope, and hurt will connect with anyone.
