Zine art by Jacob Norman Chainsaw-Arm

lyrics

Broke the deep lethargy within my head
A heavy thunder, so that I upstarted,
Like to a person who by force is wakened;

And round about I moved my rested eyes,
Uprisen erect, and steadfastly I gazed,
To recognise the place wherein I was.

-Inferno: Canto IV

in canada they don't have air conditioning x2
and in canada i dont have health insurance, should i even be here
lately i've been feeling kinda lonely. i don't know why, i don't even try
so it isn't any wonder that i spend so much time inside
well in canada they dont have air conditioning. in canada the air is surprisingly hot
and you'd think it'd be cooler than home, but i promise
it's cooler in some ways and in some ways it's not
in canada they don't have air conditioning - so hold each other, and burn in the wind,
sweat staining all your sheets, hair tangling together
I spent my lack paycheck on bags of Mr. Freezes
and I don't know when the next one's coming in
all i really want to do is lay here,
take off all my clothes and sleep for fourty nights
can i get through the summer without human interaction
can i get through my past and still feel alright
i don't know anymore where i'm going! i don't know if i ever did
i've got sweet spiced wine in jars the fridge
cinnamon and peach, basil and thyme, come and share come and drink my cold cold sweet spiced wine
waiting for the monsters to send me out into the rain
well it doesn't rain much but i'll take a step deeper
i love to crack ice from an ice cube tray - ooooooooooooooooo
in canada they dont have air conditioning - my camera's been broken for two long years
and i haven't made the walk two whole blocks to get it fixed
now whenever i try to take pictures
i hold my hands steady like a round melting fist
not because i'm not able yeah that table's my table
but i feel a lot safer when i'm broke and alone
plus the world would be better if that table was burned and overthrown
yeah that lady wrote of berries but you'll never burn in rivers
she better find comfort wherever she goes
I stick my head in the freezer
and say oh my god, i am frozen on the spot
a giant picks me up, puts me where i ought to be
and this place is hot and freezing and i just dont feel as free as i thought i would
yeah they dont have air conditioning but in the end i think that's good
