Lyrics
Not four feet in front of your face,
I hid in the fog, you stood in place
I knew you were there, I could here you breathe
I felt the rush of air as you turned to leave
Ten years into the land of nod,
the bedclothes are raised, the body is prod
You think of yourself
You take what you need
After all what am I...
a receptacle for seed?
A carcass
in a crib
on a floor
in a wing
Held in suspension
Not a life
Not a thing
And what of the child
of paternal error,
who's silent mother bore it
in eternal terror?

Non Credo is the duo of Joe Berardi and Kira Vollman. Their enchanting songs and evocative moods draw from all styles, from contemporary experimental forms to Saturday morning cartoons to film scores to pygmy war chants. Be prepared to get seasick, be beaten up, thrown in jail, fall in love, contract an STD, have your heart broken, your wallet stolen, get shanghaied, hog tied and crucified.
