compartmentalized from summer by fest.
To end the album we looked at Jesus Camp (2006). We recreate the religious guilt and shame that is pushed onto these large groups of impressionable kids by knowing and calculating adults. It acknowledges the rage that could build through a lifetime of being subtly manipulated to fit an expectation of those responsible for your care. It also addresses how when that experience is not given a chance to be processed, the anger can ultimately become realized later in life after insight develops and one is no longer in a helpless position - fest.

Lyrics
it’s not a bad life
you just choose to see the worst in it
but you don’t see where the light is
in ghost stories recited into a maglite
a fire burning on a wet lawn
you reveled in the pain you thrust on us
you devil, worthy of a shame like that
if the punishment for sin is death
here’s some wood thrust down on your femur
as marrow spills deep into your viscera
and the fascia compresses your arteries you’ll pray to satan for relief
see it’s a good life
you could choose to see the best in it
you’ll never see where the light is
with ghost stories recited into a microphone
a fire burning under our feet
kept us from realizing what we could be
you devil, worthy of a fate like that
if the punishment for sin is death
here’s some wood thrust down on your femur
as marrow spills deep into your viscera
and the fascia compresses your arteries you’ll pray to satan for relief
