When I was a kid I got religion shoved down my little throat
Coughed it up with demonic dry heaves; I was a spry ten years old
Tried to scare and scar me from made-up maladies that only Jesus could quell
Said I ought to watch my back or else I might rot in hell
But you ain't gonna save me, save me, oh no no
You ain't gonna save me, save me, oh no no
And no one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you but yourself
Back then I use to have the same nightmares most every night
Seized me up and made me scream all the horrors that I hid inside
My mind was a web but I was both the fly and spider that I so feared
Struggled but just got more tangled up fighting it after all of those years
But you ain't gonna save me, save me, oh no no
You ain't gonna save me, save me, oh no no
And no one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you but yourself
Sometimes I used to get this weird joy thinking I was gonna snap just like a rotten stick
Some simple demented pleasure keeping my feet on the ground when the metaphoric mud got too thick
They said I was a bad seed with my head in the gutter; I'd softly mutter incantations to raise the living hell
They weren't far from being right—I took a rusty knife and I put it through the savior's heart myself
No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you but yourself

The Taxpayers were able to put down a tacklist of songs that allow us to go on a journey. In this album we experience the manic highs and lows one may experience in a life long battle with deteriorating mental health. The picture at times grim and beautiful is one I continually come back to as its tragedy never fades. Ulysses Johnson

love love love love LOVE this album!!!!! theres not enough space in my brain to write everything i love about it.
i dont normally like instrumentals, but Blackridge Theme really sticks out in my mind. every time I listen to it, I feel like I'm hearing a new song. there's so many instruments, so many rhythms and layers to it and I just can't get enough of it. amazing work, and kudos!! gothsloths
