lyrics
Cover all the bones in the ground
Cover all the bones in the ground
None of them will be found
None of them will be found
We’ve been digging all night and day
We’ve been digging all night and day
With hands and rocks there through the mud and the clay
With our hands and rocks, there is no other way
Senescence has made us slow
And senescence has made us cold
Solitude and fear has taken us by surprise
Solitude and fear stole the fire from our eyes
We pray god never finds our souls
We pray because we ‘re getting old
Months confined to a hospital bed
Silently battling the demons in your head
But nothing more can save us from where we have been lead.
I’ll see you all in hell my friends
I’ll see you all in hell my friends
For we have done something we cannot amend
For we have done something we cannot amend
An act of compassion I don’t recommend
Cover all the bones in the ground
None of them will be found
None of them will be found
We’ve been digging all night and day
We’ve been digging all night and day
With hands and rocks there through the mud and the clay
With our hands and rocks, there is no other way
Senescence has made us slow
And senescence has made us cold
Solitude and fear has taken us by surprise
Solitude and fear stole the fire from our eyes
We pray god never finds our souls
We pray because we ‘re getting old
Months confined to a hospital bed
Silently battling the demons in your head
But nothing more can save us from where we have been lead.
I’ll see you all in hell my friends
I’ll see you all in hell my friends
For we have done something we cannot amend
For we have done something we cannot amend
An act of compassion I don’t recommend

Block Ice & Propane
by Erik FriedlanderErik was a huge inspiration to me, showing different experimental places to take the cello, that it can sound equally good strummed/plucked as well as bowed, giving the instrument a whole new voice.
