The red-haired lady leads the hymns
I'm barely filling in a tiny starchy button-down
yesterday I read about the mortal sins
A dry communion wafer
I need a glass of water
but God just won't forgive, I thought His love was infinite
it's smaller
More like plastic mercy
not as hard to muster
plastic mercy
a shallow creature comfort
painted on the surface, you could confuse for kindness
plastic mercy
I bet she's picking at the bread
and I missed the train again
slink in half an hour late
too ashamed to touch my plate, I'm penitent
she says she really doesn't mind
seems like everyone is so polite
until I see the signs
Of plastic mercy
not as hard to muster
plastic mercy
a shallow creature comfort
painted on the surface, you could confuse for kindness
plastic mercy
I know that I should believe her
when she says that she forgives me
maybe I was late for dinner but I'm not innately guilty
and by now I've couched for years to learn a little self compassion
or at least an imitation
so I try it on and show myself some
Plastic mercy
not as hard to muster
plastic mercy
a harmless creature comfort
painted on the surface
even I deserve it
plastic mercy is mercy, is mercy

This is a beautiful and unique album, reminiscent of the early pioneers of musique concrète and electroacoustic music, but more restrained, refined and seasoned with a modern approach to ambient soundscapes.
This is a sonic journey that bears repeated listening and enjoyment. PSR B1257+12 (fan & listener)
