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

the impulse tattoo that once meant so much to you
has all been faded to a sick and tired shade of greenish-blue
back then you used to think a little permanent ink
would pull you from the brink of the space that you kept fallin' into

tell me, are you much better now?

first it was gin and quinines, then afternoons of red wine
thought you were doing fine, until you realized you were just inside, drowning
it was deaf to your reprimands, so you took another's hand
you loved it so true and so grand, but it never understands

just follows behind, breathing at you

it's all right, we've all got one
it's best if you just learn how to live with it
it's all right, we've all got one
it's best if you just learn how to live with it
and try not to hurt anyone

tell me, are you much better now?
see you reading those books, trying to figure it out
does it silence the voices to turn the music so loud
or is it all about trying to forget?
