lyrics

ours 'fight fire and become fire / any man that fights me fights the sun' (ben okri - the famished road)
it's always on

born marching to the beat of infinity's drum with similes sung / your songs sound off
we're writing a history wherein evil eventually lost
and still writing bad checks for what freedom's memory cost
calling it a good war like we should be sentimentally soft
naked emperors decree you turn the other cheek and essentially cough
lonely brides cry crystal tears over open veins
hope remains toxic / we're dying for a reason
for dying / for rhyming
go against the grain of greed and all soul sorcery
we fell off the tree disorderly
them seeing the fruits of slave labor are soon to see the orchard bleed
i can't get it out fast enough but i can afford to eat
last week i must've ingested like forty feet
but we'll get it right, and they'll hear it
and they'll pay and pay and pay
until it sounds like a movement again
