lyrics

do you cast your fancy beyond man
smoke and mirrors do you understand
this world to be all suffereing
to be offset at this world's end
think you'll find your reward in the next world
that's the solace of imbeciles and those that can't dance
thats why i pity the afterworldly
their consolation looks hollow to my eyes
join me in my pity for the afterworldly
and your soul will truly rise
do you think you're bein watched by an angry ghost
whose stokin the fires in which your soul will roast
instead burn past offenses and don't forget
smoke and ashes will never hold you back
take your regrets and all slights to the mountaintop
and burn them in a fire all your own
then you will pity the afterworldly
their chants will ring hollow in your ears
join me in my pity for the afterworldly
and trade away your mortal fears, trade away your childhood fears
do other peoples grinning make you grind your teeth
id rather you be sinning for your own relief
stop watching other's dancing turn your critic in
cause living through your neighbor's the original sin
think your savior needs your help fighting the wicked?
then you forget the son is a fiery star
thats why i pity the afterworldly
their "shalt nots" they make me pinch my nose
join me in my pity for the afterworldly
and the living spirit flows
honest and pure speaks the healthy body
red and erect against the pull of earth
stark contrast to the solace of the afterworldly
trading faith in death for birth
you'll find more truth in the earth and body
the here and now is pregnant with their gifts
your dancing body shows compassion to the afterworldly
for every time it falls it lifts
and rises to my kiss

dipp jonz Tempe, Arizona

dipp staffed punk rock, lofi and alt-dujour bands throughout his prolonged adolescence. Markets soured the muses, and a different path was taken. But green thoughts sleep furiously, and when they awaken they demand an audience. Thirteen years in the wilderness, and dipp jonz has returned to sing of self-overcoming, of love most biological, of destinies that are not given but must be earned. ... more
