lyrics

She was quick with a smile, quick with a joke
so fast to laugh, and so fast to go

she waited for her husband, waited hand and feet
and when he died, it felt like defeat

all 13 children were beauties and bright
indulgent and stubborn in their youthful sight

Wearing their blinders and stretching their skins
they turned into adults, what remained were the children


I don’t believe in heaven and I don’t believe in hell
but I do believe that she’s made her peace well
oooh oooh ooh oooooooooooooh

dum dee dee dee dum dee dee dee dum


she knew all of the faces and all of the dates
but tucked into her poetry, she left out the names

now that she’s older her life’s like a dream
in the chaos of living without her courtesies

she had the words in her mind but her jaw was left slack
sitting in a strangers home wondring how to get back

I don’t believe in heaven and I don’t believe in hell
but I do believe that she’s made her peace well
oooh oooh ooh oooooooooooooh

dum dee dee dee dum dee dee dee dum

Like a habit of humans she was old and withdrawn
her manners still mild
but her memories gone

She sits in a home, waiting for more
until the time comes that her saints are called for

I don’t believe in heaven and I don’t believe in hell
but I do believe that she’s made her peace well
oooh oooh ooh oooooooooooooh

dum dee dee dee dum dee dee dee dum

about

roadcake Montreal, Québec

Unapologetically flawed, roadcake and her poetry talk often of; vice, anxiety, vulnerability, and dogma. Her warbling voice has been likened to honey and her vocal precision chisels the bones. As she sings of how she fits into this shady, chaotic world, she will work her cathartic magic on you till your skin is prickling and your souls are soothed. ... more
