lyrics

I’m dying
But not really
Just a little bit
More than you
I’m dying but ironically I’m living proof

It’s hard to get my point across
I’m dying from the times that I’ve lost
And the only sure cure,
Is to say, “I told you so.”

But we all know how that goes
It doesn’t

I’m lying
It’s so silly
But no one’s understanding
Of the truth
I’m lying so my diagnosis can warrant less ruth

The more that you worry
The wrong way just stokes my fury
I know I should let it all go.
Slip through my grip so I’ve got nothing to show for it
And all that I’m left with is
chronic impediments

I appreciate all your faith in me
But honestly it just feeds the disease
Reactive hope in wearing thin
Affirming belief in
Preventative medicine

I didn't ask to be born

I’m dying
Eventually
It’s the last great thing one can do
I’m dying
Until then, I’ll shrug my way through

I’ve resigned to the end
But just to console all my friends
I'll wait until they all die
From whatever they die from
Whatever reduces us to none
It’d be funny if I'm the last one

about

Revered Vancouver, British Columbia

"Revered" is composer/front-man, Emmett Hall's musical experiment into pseudo-new wave/prog-rock cathartic nonsense.
Best described as an entertaining self-cleansing though acerbic revelry and bathos.
Much of which is in collaboration with producer, Pietro Sammarco.
