alexsahq It has been on repeat for the last year. THIS IS A MASTERPIECE and I hate living in a world where telling my friends I listen to a record about Jesus Christ being a time traveler is weird Favorite track: 22 Years Later, Feeling Better.

From the City Toward the Hills (or Things as They Appear) 06:17
lyrics
buy track
You've got your head wrapped up in the last book that you wrote (You don't know, you don't know) What to do Hallelujah, there's wine in the living room Say hello to your mother for me (There's salt on the ground There's blood in the dinner plates), come on It's fine with me you always have been something I could never be But I will be there I will see (the earth fall from its axis) I will hold you We will sing, ("Thou father, you are home") Words we spoke at dinner parties ringing in my ears It's so hard to believe the way we wasted our disease (But I will.. I will..) I will hold you close I will love your ghost I will not be saved

22 Years Later, Feeling Better 07:09
lyrics

Lights in sight of December In the place where I was born If you're feeling weary, Won't you lay your head in down (In your own heart, In your own mind) You can find a piece of me (There you'll find death also) It's there that we will meet Love itself has found you And I, (Will not leave until you speak It's name) (And you), Can know life through me, I'm told Why have thou forsaken me

The Things Themselves 04:36
lyrics

You forget the way Your hands start to shake When you're alone and you know You can't reach the phone You're awake. It's insufferable There's far too much light For you to see, oh please. You never did take my advice. Right there, you should've told me that I couldn't save you. Come quick I need you to see this. Open your eyes, there's a map inside my head And I know that you're not a ghost I know you'll find your way home Right there, I could've told you that I wanted to save you. But I couldn't save you Not like I wanted to. The formlessness won't make the content bleed So please, Just let me sleep. My God, just let me sleep. You're not a God, You're a man with a pen, So fix your own mess. You're not a god, Tallulah, I'm coming home.

Time Travelers' Continent 06:20
lyrics
buy track
Take our tongues Between worlds, we speak The language of our fathers. We were all out of time So when you arrive Get your things in line For my own sons For my own sake Why are you suddenly so afraid? Why are we so conscious of everything? I've been so wrong To hold on for so long Mind your son In time we will be undone Unless you can see That humanity has won Waste your grace, The boy will be lost in space Lessons in time, we'll lose the world we've made

filial piety/absent father 04:26
lyrics
buy track
You and me, A family that you set apart To save one million lepers from the dark And their dirty tongues Leave a bitter taste When they beg me not to cry And i don't know why You left me here to die My father said, "You're the only one. Flesh and bone. With bread and wine, you'll take your time." But I will die alone You don't care to Know if I wanted to live So, you'll stick the nails through my hands The love that you're to have me teach Is one that you've failed to give unto me Father

But the Future Refused to Change 05:07
lyrics
buy track
Time moves slowly Move towards the center So incomplete If we try Then what's left to say here But that the old world Has come anew All we know is "we know nothing" At all If we listen to the bastard's father Are we bastard's as well Who speaks for the people When you speak for this machine that you've build? Who have we to blame When the world goes up In flames again Did we build everything Just to burn it? Son of James, Do you fancy yourself a god? We only know what we can fathom Outside of space The words are dust Oh, but a few He lived for us And died for you He died to kiss their dirty mouths They took their sticks and stones And built, they built a better house Of whiskey and bones Did love then stand a chance, As they let their Devils dance, We must never let the old world become again

about

Time Travelers’ Continent follows three different timelines--past, present, future--exploring several concepts, including the structure of society, nuclear apocalypse, religion, the nature of reality, and, of course, time travel.

In present time, there’s been a nuclear apocalypse that eradicates a vast majority of humankind. A solipsist named James devotes the rest of his life to organizing society around the development of time travel to go back and prevent that apocalypse. In the future, once time travel has been developed, the plan is to send a boy–who turns out to be Jesus Christ–into the distant past to teach the world that love and compassion are more important than power and the self. Vincent and Christopher, who lead the time travelers' continent, deliberate the ethical implications of threatening the new society they have built.
