The Lamentation

from My American Family by Kwazymoto

/

lyrics

look up to the sky
churning ever grey
clouds that gather round for
the pouring display
falls down upon me
falls down upon you
in the chapel we sing
but today we kneel
cross our hearts and wish that
we were never here

who is it we blame for
churning stomach aches
stupid fits of rage for
those who’ve gone adrift
i will feel the loss
you will feel the loss
everything we did for
every lost one

our grief is like pools
of blood and milk
reaching ripples

the outreach
it’s fleeting
they care but cannot fathom
black gown on the mother
she’ll hug the open casket
and take to the altar
and beg to die
oh God you are so cruel
to leave us here without them
the child preceding the parent
so unnatural
now we scrounge on floorboards
and take drugs and we cry
i long to wake up and not know such brutal lies
but death is real and steals
from our family’s apple tree
the only way out i see
is to fall down the hole
follow down i
follow down i
follow down i
fall

i wish that you could see the mess that you left behind you
i know you would have stayed
i know you wouldn’t have
