Your tactful speeches bypass the masses.
Two-faced preachers just en vogue leaches.
Church clothes, church clothes
Church clothes, church clothes
Tighten the mask and smile.

Damned if I do, alone if I don’t.
Sure non-starter cart before horse.
Damned if I do alone if I won’t.
No present no future.
Lose myself day in day out day in day out.
No present no future.
Lose myself day in day out fucking headache.
Damned if I do alone if I don’t.
Self-doubt, fear closing my throat.
Damned if I do, starved if I won’t.
Skin and bones.

Illusion of choice, not guilty.
Unwilling subject, consuming.
If you can’t beat them, might as well join them.
Implicated, glance at death.
Excuse for error, question the server.
Pull back the curtain, nothing’s there.
Which of these banks is my friend?
Hey Alexa who do I vote for again?
I feel empowered now.
Can’t beat them so join them.
Share my opinion but none of the blame.
Illusion of choice, not guilty.
Unwilling subject, consuming.
I’m just a body, digesting.
All my decisions made for me.
What about me?

Here nor There

Here nor There
Syncopation, collaboration
Bastardization, appropriation
Citizenry steeped in apathy
Ripping at the seams of a community you’ll only dream.
Signing off of the title and deed, they never owned anything
Always yours for the taking.
This whole redlining thing doesn’t mean a thing to me.
In pursuit of a dream I only see what I want to see.

Pushups in drag
Only want to see us enlisted or dead.
More paths to death
Displace or vote all we have left?
I won’t be your cleanup hitter.
One day scapegoat, next day savior.
With representation we’re taking the easy way out.
Ignoring the coffins we’re taking the easy way out.
I won’t be your excuse for invasion.
Political payoff, original sin.
With representation we’re taking the easy way out.
Ignoring the coffins we’re taking the easy way out.
Step off my fucking neck.
*I live proudly in a body of my design.
I defend my right to be complex.
