lyrics

Flyboy by Lesser Than God. This song was written in memory of Sean Welby and the loss that his family received when he committed suicide. They lived next door to me growing up and he used to listen to me singing along to Saviour Machine's first album outside on his front porch.

Lyrics: Learning to fly is the game, they wish that you would have played, flyboy. In your eyes she saw your disguise, the pain that she feels, you'll never realize. Why Daddy? Why is what they'll say, flyboy. Where is my Daddy, anyway? One understands and three just go to play, you made it worse when you took your life away, flyboy. Sean, Sean. You left your family and betrayed, responsibility taken, you took a bride of suicide, no one saw the pain you hide, the power of life is what you need, listen to these words and take heed, oh, I wish you were here so you could see, just how much people really need you Sean. Flyboy, fly away, flyboy, believed in me, yeah, flyboy, it's not the same.

from .​.​.​lesser than God (Origins), released March 29, 2016
...lesser than God technically, really should have been ...less than God or ...lesser than our God, but I had my own philosophy on what it should mean at the time. The group, at the time of these recordings, consisted of Chris Davis on vocals/lyrics, Greg McNeely on guitar, Chris Moyle on bass guitar and Chad Meinders on drums. It was produced and engineered by Steve Palmer and Mike Whitaker at Luky 7 Studios. Violent Mood Swings, The Seed, The Mirror and Hang Your Wings were recorded on March 22 1998. It was the next morning after a show at the Firehouse in the vicinity of SLU downtown. Anorexic Life was recorded later that year there. It was never released, but the first four were on our self-titled debut in tape format. Cover art by Chris Davis. Cyber Girl, Plaster Of Paris, No Room For Alice, Conscience, Tomorrow's Sun & more were performed live at the Mud Room on Hampton Ave. in 1996 I think. This is the audio from an old camcorder. Jason Harding on drums and Kurt Pruno on bass w/ Greg on guitar & Chris Davis on vocals.

Release date:
21 March 1998
