To the Grave

from Gestation by Julz Evans

    A moment in time. This unique 150g vinyl pressing is a capture of change, and a tribute to the trans community. We are expected to not only rearrange ourselves to suit a public idea of how we should be, but to change instantly.

    Julz Evans began recording this collection of 5 songs shortly after starting hormone replacement therapy/testosterone. His vocals for each song were recorded periodically to show the deepening of his voice on T.

    The EP (recorded at Love Shack Studios, Footscray) is largely a folk composition, written on acoustic guitar and featuring the usual band instruments plus cello, violins, rich harmonies and an accordion as things start getting darker.

lyrics

There once was a stranger who became a lover
Who pulled on my heart strings
Then she pulled me down toward the sound

A whisper of danger, a distant shadow
She showed me pictures
From her peppered past of broken glass
Of speeding cars, of missing parts
We fell deep into the dark

I bit my tongue so hard it blistered
Sickness locked away
I put the paintbrush in her hand
But I couldn't make her paint

A fear of forgetting (anyone or anything)
A fear of loving (with my whole heart)
Of disappearing
Into present tense (no future)
On the fence (no stories)
To second guess (I wonder)
Is this mess really the best?

I bit my tongue so hard it blistered
Sickness locked away
I put the paintbrush in her hand
But I couldn't make her paint
I ripped apart all that was mine
Chasing her in flight
Broken dead weight

I bit my tongue so hard it blistered
Sickness locked away (in an instant)
I put the paintbrush in her hand
But I couldn't make her paint
I ripped apart all that was mine
Chasing her in flight
Broken dead weight
It's unspoken, I'll take that secret to the grave
