1.
Born all alone in abandon Since you were but seventeen When the lurker in the shadow comes to reap he comes for thee Say goodbye to all your loved ones Will they weep or be relieved?

When the poison blood leaks from skin that breaks On the tile floor forming pretty stains... No amount of bleach will make it clean No amount of love will heal the scar of me! With my yellow eyes and my hands that shake With my twisted tongue and my belly aches... You say good bye you kiss good night You sing healing words in an opera of knives! When the mourning comes please don't be afraid If my body lies in a separate place... You smiled at me when your destiny Had given birth to my obituary.

Visions blurred Foundations quaked The future: crushed beneath the waves And when the past began to change The Sentries looked the other way Bridges burned The oceans drained The world was wrought And naught remains But when illusions start to break The fear besets another pain And I was happy that day -Lost in your arms And I was happy that day -Lost in your smile And I was happy that day -Lost in your gaze And I was happy that day -I love you child And I was happy that day -For all your days And I..... ...was happy that day!
6.
Born all alone in abandon Since you were but seventeen When the Lurker In The Shadow Comes to reap he comes for thee Say goodbye to all your loved ones Will they weep or be relieved? Woven threadbare in years or seconds To leave a shell of the former We To be devoured atom from atom Ever-patient endlessly

about

It is ending, and the ending isn't good, but what do we do while we wait?

The second album by Steven Bupp and sequel to "I Am Tired And I Want To Go Home". An Opera Of Knives was composed with the EastWest Hollywood Orchestral Library and is accompanied by a lonely little Gameboy. The album was recorded over a few months in early 2021 in several bedrooms and basements all over eastern Pennsylvania.

There is pain in the simple truth, but there is comfort in knowing it.
