Turn it off
02:12
|

Turn it off
Their voices like nails scratching the concrete floor
I can hear it through my door
Surreality TV
Scheming ways to indoctrinate the teens
Telling them what they want
Not providing what they need
Indoctrinating teens
Turn it off
Their voices like nails scratching the concrete floor
I can hear it through my door
Even though it’s closed shut
They’re calling me a
If only they could try on my shoes
But my feet are too small
They’ve been bound for too long
But not too small to kick back
You’ve declared a war,
So we’ll fight back
A defensive attack
TURN IT OFF
TURN IT OFF
TURN IT OFF

It's an impulse
01:15
|
|||
It’s an impulse floating against my bloodstream
All the ripples you create resonate throughout my day dreams
I’m always in the clouds when you’re raining
Making the most of time before we start changing

Counterclockwise
02:03
|
|||
I’m functional but my mind winds counter clockwise
Preparing for the expected surprise
Your car runs on lobbyist lies
No complacency, I want the rebels to rise
If I don’t say it to your face then who will?
We are a fractured bone
Beaten down by a bourgeois stone
I had felt so alienated, so alone
Until I got off my phone
If I don’t call you out then who will?
If I don’t say it to your face then who will?

Comrades or Lovers
02:28
|
|||
I never felt so at home in my body
Cause my body found a home
These colonial landlords set such a high price
Abolishing money would be pretty nice
But what they want us to do would be a waste of our time
Speaking of time, we can’t take it for granted
Since we’re anarchists, we can make the most out of what we’ve got!
Are we comrades or are we lovers
Does it even matter, we’re just a bunch of trans gays
Drowning together in this burning world, perceiving each other
In the way we all want
You know that’s not too much to ask
We are restless and we are reckless
But it shows how much we care
Don’t feel bad if you burn out or need a break
The heavy weight of the world is one for us all to share
Are we comrades or are we lovers
Does it even matter, we’re just a bunch of trans gays
Drowning together in this burning world, perceiving each other
In the way we all want
You know that’s not too much to ask

Your Plate
04:15
|
|||
I’m not one for glorification
No gods, no masters, no invitations
Look me in the eyes, can’t you see
I’m nobody and I’m somebody
When you find your reason to
Feel the way that you do
You can tell me everything you want
In the mean time as we wait
I won’t be served on your plate
I am just a spectre that haunts
All the sentient beings are rising up
It’s been too long, they’ve had enough
Look them in the eyes, can’t you see
You’re nobody and they’re somebody
When you find your reason to
Feel the way that you do
You can tell me everything you want
In the mean time as we wait
I won’t be served on your plate
I am just a spectre that haunts
(X2)
I’m not one for glorification (x4)

남자도아니고
여자도아니고
예술, 예술입니다
어색해
망가진 창문 열어서
숨실수있다
인생 은 놀이터다
아무것도 상관업다
그래서 자유로
놀이터에서 놀자
남자도아니고
여자도아니고
예술, 예술입니다
남자도아니고
여자도아니고
예술, 예술입니다

Oh Concussion
05:07
|

EDITED LYRICS:
Oh concussion, you are the prison bars to my bed
When there is so much going on, how can I take a rest
The nurse tried to sell me pills to relieve the pain in my head
Please just turn off those bright lights was what I said, don’t you remember I have a concussion
You profit from the symptoms instead of focusing on the root cause of our suffering
You profit from our suffering
A-c helped me feel less alone, helped me understand what was going on
Fin picked up their phone, along with Willow they came over
Good Yen waited with me in the waiting room, I felt like a commodity
With my bar coded wrist band, I was just another number to be processed through capitalist bureaucracy
Oh concussion, you are the prison bars to my bed
When there is so much going on, how can I take a rest
That colonial fucker approved the pipeline
Fuck this nation state, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
Turn the flag around
Piss, piss, piss on it
I need to organise, sabotage
Those transphobes that collaborate with Neo-Nazis
My identity is no ideology
Deplatform those fuckers
Deplatform child abusers
We know better than pseudo-science
We know better than hate
White cis het patriarchy feels threatened
So let’s keep making it gay
let’s keep making it gay
Oh concussion, you are the prison bars to my bed
When there is so much going on, how can I take a rest
But maybe I need to take a break
Can’t organise with a head ache
We all need to care
Remember to take care
Maybe the universe had to whack me on my head
To remind me to not push myself past my limit and burn out
Cleanse myself of a capitalist conditioning of needing to be overproductive

My head is a forest fire
02:46
|
|||
The hour glass sand glides through my fingers
My eyes flood, and my throat dries up
My head is a forest fire
Did you get what you want?
Are you satisfied?
You crave infanticide
You would rather we die
Did you get what you want?
Are you satisfied?
Your profits suck out life
I’ve said my goodbyes
I remember being 10 years old
Lying on my bed, staring at the clouds on my ceiling
I was hopeless, and scared of death
It was a sinking feeling
I’m still that 10 year old kid
But the science has sunk in
I know what we’re dealing with
It’s a revolutionary feeling
Did you get what you want?
Are you satisfied?
You crave infanticide
You would rather we die
Did you get what you want?
Are you satisfied?
Your profits suck out life
I’ve said my goodbyes

The Intersection
02:25
|
|||
Don’t meet me half way
Meet me at the intersection
Let’s go all the way
We’ve been too patient
None of these hierarchies are set in stone
Cause I feel emancipation in my bones
She goes to work
Then comes home to more work
Her boss is a jerk
And so is her husband
But one day she’ll break
And one day she’ll say
“I won’t be productive for you
I won’t be reproductive for you”
We bring out the best in each other
That’s what we do with our fingers
Don’t meet me half way
Meet me at the intersection
Let’s go all the way
We’ve been too patient

The Sage
03:51
|
|||
We don’t want your rights
We want to smashy smashy
Don’t tell us what to do
Cmon lets bashy fashy
We won’t follow your schedule
We won’t follow you to the elections
We want to live for our own pleasure
Destroy all forms of domination
We’re not here for your pleasure
We’re not here for your profits
Fuck you and this labour
Community over institutions!
We don’t want the same shit just controlled by someone else
We will burn your tools of domination
Don’t need someone to stand in the middle of the way
To take up and exploit a space that was never ours anyway
We’re not here for your pleasure
We’re not here for your profits
Fuck you and this labour
Community over institutions!
The sage has nothing to say to you
She won’t operate within the confines of your debates
She seeks and provides wisdom
Too profound for words to replicate
You’re all talk (x4)
We don’t exist to make our manifestations palatable for your consumption
We don’t exist to make our manifestations palatable for your consumption
