The Ancient Present
We have a tradition (five years old now) of improvising our way
into the new year from the CHEER-AX Basement. This is a
particularly delectable moment from 2019.

Lyrics: Scott Rutledge
Mastered by Todd Rittmann
I am the problem
And I’ll take all your blame
For there is no one to save
Wrapped in the cold comfort
Of my shame
Rub out all the stains
And bleed
And bleed
Again
I live in the void of what remains
As I watch my dreams collapse around me
I’m reminded of what it used to feel like
Long ago is not far enough away
I am the promise
And I break just the same
Wrapped in the cold comfort
Of my shame
Rub out all the stains
And bleed
Again
