NOTES
This song was completed just after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018. It draws from the imagery — tragically, always the same — of the shooting: disbelief, grief, rage, paranoia, delusion, empty promises, and so on. And then repeat (like firing a weapon). The enemy, the villain, the monster: he is beside us, with us, talking to us; he is your neighbour, your parent, your child, your classmate. He is everywhere and nowhere. Do we feel secure with our weapons close at hand? When it all happens again they will say their scripted lines. Thoughts and prayers will be offered. They will make their sacrifice. And then repeat.

lyrics
they say that there’s something there. shine a light and keep aware. don’t look now. crept inside. left it open. now the meat’s all cut and dried. they say that there’s nothing there. nothing but what’s been prepared. THERE’S SOMETHING THERE OR SOMETHING HERE AND NOTHING THERE oh it’s everything we’re so thankful for. and for everything. and nothing. we’re so eager too. we give everything. we just want to please you. and nothing. go light a little candle. what they give you you can handle. give up this precious little. and everything. the narrow middle. THERE’S SOMETHING THERE OR SOMETHING HERE AND NOTHING THERE AND NOTHING HERE slow burn a little candle. what they give you you can handle. oh it’s everything we’re so thankful for. and for everything. and nothing. we’re so eager too. we give everything. we just want to please you. and nothing. oh it’s everything that we’re thankful for. and for everything. and nothing. and nothing. oh we’re thankful for. we give you everything. and nothing. thoughts and prayers given. and nothing. many awkward stares. and nothing. nothing ever comes from nothing. thoughts. prayers. given. and nothing.
