about

Inspired by the story of Lot from the Bible.

Two angels arrived at Sodom, and Lot invited them to spend the night at his home. The Angels didn't like what they saw in Sodom and found that there were not even 10 righteous people living there. The Angels told Lot to flee with his wife and daughters, and while they were leaving God rained down fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah. They instructed the family not to look back. Lot's wife looked back and she became a pillar of salt. We were inspired by the idea of a body falling apart. In our version, all the people who made a deal with the devil have started to slowly decompose and fall apart. They regret their decisions and wait to die. The wicked are being punished and most of the town has given up hope. Vincent helped me write the lyrics to this song, and he wrote the form of the song as well.

lyrics

our fingers are missing they litter the ground grass will never grow near this town again the frames on the walls are crooked and empty these shoulders bend low towards the dirt i made a deal to get us out of this place but i am falling apart with each step i take and as the pieces fall i count them all.
