Colonial Minds

Generate the hate for allegiance. Propagate the need for division.
You mobilise the militant right. Incite the fear in the fascist.
Another patriot pulling the trigger. To the victims you'll be pointing the finger. You sympathise with the murderous whites. It's no surprise, colonial minds!
There's gonna be a lot more terror.
The neo-Nazis have it on the agenda.
Culture wars, a global force.
The praxis of an imperial discourse.
Nostalgia for White Australia. Stronger borders, fear the foreign invader.
Under the gun, One Nation's chasing... dirty pay from the NRA
Claiming Islam is akin to cancer. Extermination is their only answer.
Genocide, Apartheid... It's no surprise, colonial minds.
No pride! No peace! Release!

I got something in my favour. I got nothing to lose. I got no time to do it later. I got no excuse!
Placing the blame on the external. It got me nowhere fast. I'm analysing the internal. Responsibility, it's all on me....
I know what to do..... I'll take the reigns and I'll power thru!
I wont compromise.... I'm here to live my best life!
The journey the pursuit.... It'll be what I make it to be!
Now it's all on me!
Beating my head against a brick wall. Flogging a dead horse. I was blinded by the long haul. We were on a different course.
I could see it as a fuckin' waste. I could lament the past, but really it was just my first taste. Those lessons learned are gonna last...
It's still alive in me....
The passion, the rage fuels me....
I feel it in my core. What I got I'll grow and I'll give more...
It's not the end of this story......

Masquerade
03:01

I'm losing motivation to do the things I love.
I've got that dead depression rotting inside my skull.
It's exhausting when I'm forcing.... fun.
It's lonely but I won't let it own me.... Nah!
Jealousy, insecure, they're better than me.
Anxiety, paranoia, the thoughts that could be.
And it's suffocating freedom and beauty.
And I'm masquerading....
I got a go to reflex and it goes something like this... Fuck It!
What is in my best interest, I seem to have no interest.... Fuck It!
Overpower before I am devoured..... Fight It!
I know the praxis, break the lock to access.... Fight It!
I got a blockage in my mind....
And it is killing all my time....
I'm breaking bonds and building beds....
The parasite inside my head!

Century of the Self
03:23
|
|||
|
We're at war with one another. Cheap shots and armchair warfare.
Semantics in the echo chamber. Ostracise your allies.
Living life in the digital daily. Humility syphoned from humanity.
This is the Century of the Self.... Our shitty mental health.
You know you want it....
The outrage.....
We push the buttons... Hide and shame.
Sectarian lines divide. Though we're united through the corporate hive.
Avatars of avid consumption. We are the target, we are the market.
Great moments of mobilisation contrast vitriolic division.
This is the Century of the Self.... Our shitty mental health.
We have been fooled.
We'll always be ruled.... When we're fighting one another!

Flat-earther's and Holocaust deniers
Re-writing history and science.
In a world where we're looking for answers fictional depictions fill those chasms.
Why?! We're starving for the truth and so we find
The mirage that will feed malnourished minds
The Spectre of Scepticism
Delusion meets division.
Misdirected and rejected.
You form your friends on the fringe.
Now your voice is louder and the healthy sceptics have been disempowered.
Searching for something to believe. You can't trust the common knowledge, alternative facts to forage.
Rabbit holes feed and mislead. QAnon illumination, Reptilians rule the nation.
Searching for something to believe. In a web of vast unreason, your sanity slowly slipping.
Rabbit holes feed and mislead. Distrust is not delusion, be aware of what you're choosing.

Grief

I've done my time with grief.
It's time for some relief.
So hollow when I wallow....
I've lost too many friends, death is always lurking around me.
Around us.
My time is tapering, patience is wearing thin. I'm ready....
To push thru all the pain.
These scars wont fade away.
They're who I am today.
I can still hear their laughter.....
I've lost too many friends.
My time is tapering.
Some days I fear the end.
I wanna live for them!

Expose the State
03:22
|
|||
|
Symbolic of the structure, it's a trope of history.
The figures of oppressors carved into the scenery.
Taught to read white pages, glorify the colony.
Patriotic pawns perpetuate brutality.
Let it burn.... Let's see them fall.
The winds of change, the rally call.
The monuments soaked in bloodshed....
Desecrated!
The captors and crusaders of white supremacy.
The relics of the ages, heralds of slavery.
Colonial amnesia of the body politic.
Celebrate the fiction, white lies to keep ya sick!
Light! Illuminate! Invigorate! Expose the state!
No end..... to colonisation.
Calling..... for some reparations.

Defund
03:55
|

|
The institution is adept at excusing their atrocities.
Endemic within the force is a culture of supremacy.
Whether it's man over woman, white over black, class over culture, force over tact... It is a failing. In need of derailing. Defund police.
What do we see throughout history when we assess police.
Aristocrats and capitalists needed a little elbow grease.
So they point to the public to pay for the cops.
Sell us the concept, protect their stock. It is sustaining, in need of derailing. Defund police.
Redirection. Disrupt. Reallocation of public funds.
Redirection. Disrupt. Reallocation. Defund!
Lost lives. Stigmatised. I hear your code of silence.
Closed doors. Closed minds. Extend the genocide.
I feel a rain coming....
I feel a change coming....
