Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Loose and guilty and whipped
Sterility persecutes and I have plenty
Bruised and nailed and quit
Merciful and mourned and meek
Jealousy sows rejection with a kiss
In silken palms that tear bone from skin
This joke sport severed
I endeavored
To find a place where
I became untethered
This joke sport severed
I endeavored
To find a place where
I became untethered
Jealousy sows rejection with a kiss
In silken palms that tear bone from skin
This joke sport severed
I endeavored
To find a place where
I became untethered
Sterility persecutes and I have plenty
Bruised and nailed and quit
Merciful and mourned and meek
Jealousy sows rejection with a kiss
In silken palms that tear bone from skin
This joke sport severed
I endeavored
To find a place where
I became untethered
This joke sport severed
I endeavored
To find a place where
I became untethered
Jealousy sows rejection with a kiss
In silken palms that tear bone from skin
This joke sport severed
I endeavored
To find a place where
I became untethered

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I think ElleVeeElle is correct. Also there’s a ton of references relating attempts at relationships to torture, which really shows you where Richey’s head was at. If The Holy Bible was a hellish view of the outside world, then Journal For Plague Lovers does the same for your own little world in a lot of lyrics. Leaders lie, lovers lie. And when you come to the conclusion that there’s no such thing as true perfection attainable whether in society or romance, it’s not an easy thought to take for idealists.
