Heh, I tend to think of "Raise the Dead," "Leader," and "Ship Lost at Sea" as forming a single story. One of a cult accidentially raising a chaotic god that only wants to be loved. :P |

| Elliott Smith – Between the Bars Lyrics | 17 years ago |

| Sufjan Stevens – John Wayne Gacy, Jr. Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| "Are you one of them?" Judging from how he's saying this after describing JWG's and before what JWG did to his victims, he's asking if you are one of his victims. The song is a result of introspection. The kind that makes you realize that you are the scum of the Earth. We all are. | |
