mask 04:23
The right hand of the law is on the left hand of the dial and what once moved with purpose with passion is it all just passing fashion? as we fit in acute uniformity not only in aesthetic but from a certain gaze a certain mentality theres more to you theres more to me to remove the masks so we can see that we're too preoccupied feeling preoccupied with each other i'm sorry no bother i didn't mean to cause no trouble keep wrestling with the wreckage of the status struggle but theres more to you and theres more to me it would be of mercy to remove the masks so we can see that there's a market encroach it's just another approach to killing empathy and if we saw each other to truly see each other we could lift up one another we could lift up each other

Our solidarity commands All the not so small things these broken hearts demand Kiss me once before the phalanx comes They can chase us now but they can’t outrun Change is a spark that the fire caught And I’ll put my body where you cannot There’s a sound coming down Its a chopper to chop off your head Empty platitudes to the camera crew ...Than the baton again But the worlds watching a dying man beg for his mama And where there’s fire there’s trauma None of us born to hate It’s malignant engineering a continued apartheid state Kiss me once before the barricades Throwing our hearts, like their hand grenades What starts as a spark, fire apprehends A new world waiting but this one has to end There’s a sound coming down Its a chopper to chop off your head Empty platitudes to the camera crew ...Than gas em’ up boys again There’s a sound coming down Its a chopper to chop off your head In the fire there’s illustration A new beginning sown in conflagration And the worlds watching a dieing man beg for his mama And where there’s fire there’s trauma And the worlds watching now in clear view Where there’s smoke there’s truth

aliens 04:09
so much said so little gets done were burning like a candle from both ends seems like were always on the run from each other from ourselves a room left to fester in the quietest corner of self were all aliens impossible particles thrown together yeah friend i got your feather were all down on luck possibly fucked look but don't touch in lieu of love in search of what then you came out of nowhere like a jump-scare i was busy appearing to look within reach the hardest lessons burn a heart so hard to teach i was never fully prepared fully unaware ready to throw it to the stars in the end a kiss without this skin within to the bosom of the ocean were all aliens impossible particles thrown together and friend i got your feather were all unique were so blasé we hear it in the night then run from the day we run away forever runaways all is said so little done were running out of mechanisms to numb the constant thrum in lieu of love forever runaway in lieu of love in search of what?

fencesitting 03:52
awash in anxiety doom scroll and my eyes bleed how much must they take til we break? how much to break as to unmake? a future engineered by the few theres no room for me or you tell me which side are you on? baby can't you see the line and the sands on which it's drawn burns and blisters by design pepperballs in the face a flashbang grenade it can't displace our desires against empires weak thuggery in portrait the heart won't forfeit can't you see they're turning all your screws? don't you feel you're being used? tell me which side are you on? baby let me draw the line the sand on which it's drawn burns and blisters by design tell me which side are you on? no fencesitting allowed this time because the sand on which it's drawn it's the killing kind i'd rather run toward it then run away 🖤↘↘↘🖤

crucifix 06:02
you said it was you not me so i walked away from you shed tears i never knew those lips dry and plaintive hands the fingers tease at the strands of all too morbid plans and you played with knives and you got cut you played in the dark and it got inside of you too much you cried out for mercy some final fix I held you like a crucifix you said it was me not you so i just assumed it true shut off like i often do hold together yet to softness acquiesce and in your eyes i discern shared distress born in tears yearn for emptiness
