lyrics

Birth new life, and God bless his soul,
Make it quick, the water's cold,
He thought he had butterflies in his stomach,
By the time he could have figured out what it was,
He will have died.

No, they weren't butterflies,
It was really just the Devil,
How can such an evil being stoop to even lower levels?
Did he sacrifice his pride?
In his glory, we shall revel,
Knowing that his influence lies just below the water level.

Baptism in a community pool,
You made such a difference, it's true,
Maybe I don't understand at all,
He just needed you to take the fall.

Could anyone see this coming?
Was there really no tomorrow?
You were the one underwater, but it's us who drowned with sorrow.
At the bottom of the ocean,
Pulling you down was Cthulu,
Jumping off the diving board, the Devil cannonballed onto you,
No, they weren't butterflies,
It was really just the Devil,
How can such an evil being stoop to even lower levels?
Did he sacrifice his pride?
In his glory, we shall revel,
Knowing that his influence lies just below the water level.

Baptism in a community pool,
You made such a difference, it's true,
Maybe I don't understand at all,
He just needed you to take the fall.
Baptism in a community pool,
Not one person could have had a clue,
God couldn't have seen it coming, too,
You'd be glad this whole town misses you.

C.W. Franz II
by C.W. Franz

In Charlie's words, this record is like travelling "all around the world (and the Mid-west) in just 36 minutes!" He's not kidding. I can't identify half the instruments he used, but they sound great. Kenny Hoffman

I often consult Ryan about my own recordings. Listen to his most recent EP to find out why. The arrangements! The humungous synths! The layers! The songwriting! I couldn't do any of it. Great stuff. Kenny Hoffman
