The penniless are powerless when reps are bought and sold
Whose stances shift with currencies, in their search for hands to mold
and fill their lifeless form, and work their crooked jaws to say:
"Follow me!"
Human rights come at a price, the air we suck is monetized
Where bottom lines mean cuts to life with lower R.O.I
With stolen breath, their lungs inflate, words billow in a wheeze
they say: "Nourish Me!"
The everchanging tides you wade are sure to take you down
You grasp at hands but your thrashing limbs
have tied you into knots again
Another puppet drowned
Another puppet down
Another puppet drowned
Another puppet down

Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
