lyrics
This is a thinly-veiled, strategic strike on sanity
Dizzy from false rhetoric and scorched earth fantasies
We take another detour to the streets with jaws agape
Chanting patchwork protest songs, in loops we can’t escape
And still we rant till words crack static, another cause forlorn
As from their quenchless, bloated guts another order’s born
A conveyer belt of rift accords to expand the chasm floor
And shatter vision like a mirror
forgetting what we’re fighting for
What are YOU fighting for?
What are WE fighting for?
This is a loose-lipped, rambling trip to power’s slippery edge
Twisting hallowed halls of fallen idols, phone in hand
Hedge words left unchewed upon the screen he hides behind
Retching vile network views, in sound bites for the blind
Behind the veil, reveal the stalking eel amongst the coral
Preying on the little fish, who pray before his glow
All living things within jaws reach, shall cease to exist
Resist! Resist! Resist!
Orange is the new white
Power is what they’re fighting for
Orange is the new white
Power is what we’re fighting
Resist! Resist! Resist!
What are you fighting with?
This war of words is futile
Fuck a sound debate
Actions are much louder
When fighting hate with hate

Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
