about

a poem song written around the old Italian phrase "Who Made You A Saint?" Tony Saxon piano & vocals recorded live in studio with backing vocals from Ileana Ordonez and Matt Olsson

lyrics

the patron saint of anxiety
our history is thick
yeah, we got together
but the only difference is we kiss

each peck a blessing
between her blissful ignorance
and the river of bad blood
runs deep between our lips

are you embarrassed?
are you wary?
why are you so distant?
should i still struggle to communicate,
continue to be so persistent?
silence goes on for days
and it seems so strange
smells like bullshit
so when oppurtunity comes knocking do i answer or ignore it?

our lady of mental acceleration
lives deep in her own mind
when she comes out shes buried
by the consequence of wasted time
she fights the night with the power of ingestible speed
and i know its wrong but i tread the river just to keep her company

are you jealous? are you ready?
why are you accepting offers?
i tried to play that part for you but you told me not to bother.
now the position has been filled,
yeah, you seem so thrilled, more like nervous.
his wallet hangs over your head
and you've found another grievance to service.

all the girls i loved when i was young no longer exist.
they blossomed into souls that i now find unfit.
from the pedastal they all dropped like flies.
once i realized they were never canonized.
