about

GS: "Come In And Burn": I tried something different for this one. I made the music first with a vague idea of how I was going to fit the poetry in, and I figured I'd put the poem in the middle, rather than starting off with it right away. I did know I wanted something texturally and sonically very different from everything else on the album, and I went with a percussion-based music, with a little recorder and bowed device thrown in. I did make the music with the idea of anxiety and inner turmoil in mind, I just needed to do this in a different way than I had with the other pieces.

lyrics

To think of her leaving

is to look into the face of madness

to beg it enter through my eyes

and play its savage purpose against

the confines of my skull

To make the attempt to

stretch my mouth around the razored

putrid words is

an exercise in weird masochism

the pain so foreign and yet so inevitably

mine

I cannot, it seems, do this

as long as it needs be done

my strength wanes with my patience

for the violence laying waste

to my head

and still the most vile fear

is that it could yet be worse

(c) David McIntire
