about

It feels a little like a war cry, lullaby. Wrote this song while Trump was in office during the Pandemic. The Political Climate was taking it's toll on relationships with family and friends. So yeah, Fuck Nazis!

lyrics

Outrageous and absurd!
Our course of action has taken a turn.
We lost connection.
Adrift so far.
Too much compression.
Failing as who we are?
So tell 'em, who you are.
Is it love?
We've been spittin' a crack is opening wide.
From the inside.
Slowly slipping, yeah we have started to slide
into the divide.
I miss seeing you've been there my whole life.
Now we're on opposite sides.
This fuss is making us have to put up a fight.
Oh why?
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1
There's too much fighting and it's so
Contagious and uncurbed
A spark ignites and everything burns.
A mass deflection.
A twist bizarre.
Zero reflection.
Forgetting just who we are.
So remember,
when we're one, we are strong.
We've been splittin', a crack is opening wide
From the inside.
Slowly slippin', yeah we have started to slide
into the divide.
I miss seeing you've been there my whole life.
Now we're on opposite sides.
This fuss is making us have to put up a fight.
Oh why?
