some folks lives roll easy as a breeze drifting through a summer night heading for a sunny day but most folks lives... they stumble lord, they fall through no fault of their own, most folks never catch their stars here I am lord, I'm knocking at your place of business I know I ain't got no business here but you said if I ever got so low I was busted you could be trusted some folks lives roll easy some folks lives never roll at all lord they just fall they just fall some folks lives

when comes the shaking man a nation in his eyes striped with blood and emblazed tattoo streaking cathedral spire they say he has no brain they say he has no mood they say he was born again they say look at him climb they say jump they say he has two gods they say he has no fear they say he has no eyes they say he has no mouth they say hey that's really something they feel he should get some time i say he should watch his ass my friend don't listen to the crowd they say jump got to believe somebody got to believe (c) 1992 Tintoretto Music

about

TPUNK064. Sorry You're Here — Select recordings from the score to Taffety Punk's suicide.chat.room. CONTENT WARNING: This album is a soundtrack to a dance play that deals very frankly and unflinchingly with the topic of suicide. The artistic choices undergirding the music were made to suit the themes and contours of the play. The play is upsetting and explicit, the soundtrack less so. The music is significantly more abstract and impressionistic. However, we strongly advise against exposing anyone under age or similarly vulnerable to this music. For more details about the work that went into the production and why the artists created it, please see Marcus Kyd's artistic statement (4th photo above).

You are not alone. If you are having thoughts of suicide please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741. For more information on how to help yourself or a loved one please visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org or afsp.org/find-support

Everyone in Beauty Pill and everyone in the Taffety Punk Theatre Company want you to live. Please live.
