lyrics

If you have suffered in this nation, if you’ve been locked out or pushed down, don’t forget what your compatriots think of you- that half of everyone you see would rather cover the country in a sea of ash than see you ascendent. They’d rather starve themselves then see you satiated. Don’t forget how little it all means to them: your security, your safety, happiness and liberty. Empty words in the face of their resentment. Ideas as hollow as their craven, Janus hearts. They will clutch their privilege from you with cadaverous fingers, and they’ll make you claw and fight and scrape for every scrap of power you wrest from them, for every shred of dignity you pry from their dead hands. So never forget that this means you have nothing to apologize for.

Each track brings about its own mix of sludgy post-hardcore and more laid back rock. Will need a couple more spins to explore it better. Alice M.
