07 Acid and Wine
Brother, keeper, vicious Reaper / Demons run when we / Call them by their name...
It may be difficult at first to find the cohesion in this diptych, but that is precisely what makes it so appealing. Consider the lyrics and contemplate what these images mean to you.
What are your demons? When you call them by their names do they flee from you...or run to you?

Acid and wine
Might be good for your mind
Hold onto love
Hold onto love
He said:
Funny how much is revealed
As it burns, as it heals
Hold onto love
Hold onto love
Hold on
He said:
Feel it peel away karma and Jesus Christ
Science, governments, supermen, kryptonite
Find salvation in chemical overdose
Let it be father, mother, and holy ghost
Then he grins as you flicker and slip away
Lets you choke on the poisons he’d never take
Ugh
Hold onto love
Hold onto love
Well who among us has it all
If none of us survives the fall
Brother, keeper, vicious Reaper
Demons run when we
Call then by their name
Then he grins as you flicker and slip away
Lets you choke on the poisons he’d never take
Picks your pockets, your flesh, and your memories
Leaves your bones for the dogs and Persephone
Strip me, strip away karma and Jesus Christ
Science, governments, supermen, kryptonite
Sweet salvation in chemical overdose
Let it be father, mother, and ghost
We’re too numb to be terrified
