Experimental, collaboration Bill Boethius
Marita's revenge

When I first heard SabrinaCount's acapella vocal, 'Marita's revenge' I knew I would have to try to make some sounds to it - it totally blew me away.

The lyric mentions sado-masochism, and I found myself continuously listening to the Velvet's 'Venus in Furs' as I was producing this, - also thinking of John Cale,- and his work with Nico. So that was the immediate backdrop. All the guitars used are either fretless or slide.

Lyrics:

Oh god
My heart is breaking
Each moment I am
Tortured again
In my reconstructed
Memory of rejection
In hard porn
Life style
Shooting
The breeze
Looking for religion
And lost to that
Razor blade speculation
Humming
The inside out
To the suicide thought:

They tortured me with knives
They tortured me with knives
Look at the scar
Screaming
Still on my throat
Attempting the new voice
The reconstructed margin
Of personality potential
Looking for help
In the alters
In the alters of the mind
Screaming still
Only
Cutting
The skin deeply enough
To make blood beads beautiful
In sadomasochistic realization
Baring the soul in exclamation
Of the spread
Shaking the hand to her screaming
Shaking the hand to her screaming
Help
Me
God
In
The
Heart
Of
Mock
Ceremony
Glimpsing
The crucifixion
For real
