Alive, As A Housefire

(album: Iridescent - 2021)

Identical America:
The beautiful land of control
See the cages
Freedom Fiction
Hear the fascist or ask yourself
"Will my anesthetized half-lies still suffice to stifle what life we hoard till we die?"
We hide in the guise of benevolence until the system burns
Burn. Burn. Burn
A system built by subjection
Burn. Burn. Burn
Must change or face insurrection

They found you in your skin
They've come to take you in
So take a ride, come inside
They have stars for making stripes
Swerving left and stealing rights
They've only come to take your life

The only remedy is solidarity
And now I know the death of my pride is the cost of peace

Cold as the empire that stole away your breath...
Long as the history they poured inside your chest
Revenant, you're louder than the sound
Love overcomes
Revenant, no grave can hold you down

"Follow me my son, we're just strangers leaving Babylon."

Cold as the empire that stole away your breath...
And long as the history they poured inside your chest
Revenant, you're louder than the sound
Love overcomes
Revenant, no grave can hold you down
We're only shadows till we walk into the sun
And they're only tyrants until love overcomes

Fuck the system
Break the prism
Fuck the system
