I'm Eric Kalenze, and Gawker Slowdown is the name I've given my little musical hobby. While I'm currently in a state of semi-retirement from music, I still write and play out occasionally. All songs on this site were written, performed, and recorded by me in my Twin Cities basement.

Lyrics

you know what, i don't think i can do this anymore
could keep on pretending, but what the hell for?
it's not like you brought me much comfort anyway
it's not like you ever hear any words i say
and those you've got speaking for you
ain't anyone i wanna be close to
they see hurricanes in the shape of unborn babies
and say you did it out of love
then they pray for assassinations
maybe that ain't my kind of love
something certain to cling to in the complicated tide
something so certain, it can only divide
they hold back progress in your name
but the world moves forward without shame
though it's assuring, the choice between darkness and light
but the sky's so beautiful at sunset, when it's neither day nor night
won't see hurricanes in the shape of unborn babies
and say you did it out of love
or pray for assassinations
no, that ain't my kind of love
so when i go, don't bother telling me goodbye
i'll just let myself out the back way
all this time, watching what you've done to so many lives,
i'll be damned if you get the last say
