Interloper 02:02
I’ve been working thirteen hours Every inch of my body hurts so why are you here? Same time Every single night Ten minutes before close I’m being paid to be here I’m not your friend I want to count my drawer and go to bed Every night you sit in that chair and you tell me what you want But I know what your really want You want me to sing and dance And never wipe this smile off my face I can’t even begin to describe how much you make me want to scream I don’t want to be here I want you to look me in the eyes And explain how that joke is funny I want you to ignore every instinct telling you to open up your mouth And stop talking to me about my hair I don’t want to be here If I wanted your opinion I would have asked Stop trying to get us to validate your ego You’ve hit on everyone who works here Nobody wants to fuck you

Hedonistic fantasy Suffocating reality No regard for the lives at stake Humans, animals, no one's safe A thirst never quenched A belly full but never content Happiness is a bloated ego Bodies pile up row after row Lust for pleasure at our expense Your decadence will be our death Forest fires rage Books burned for warmth A mother peers in relief at her child scorned Your rot has spread You are a disease How can you gorge yourself with mouths to feed? Mother forgive us

Failed State 01:38
The promise of a “better life” is a fleeting illusion. Born on razed, stolen land and built by those in chains. Your founding fathers lied Setting the example You’ve been sold a dream A failed state exposed A rising tide lifts all boats “look what we’ve created” Our history doomed to repeat A storm unabated. The veil, quickly thinning America a farce The grift has lost its charm And so it goes Can’t you see? It’s not a dream it’s a fucking nightmare. A failed state exposed

Walang Hiya 03:04
Would you call me a slut if my areolas were bare? Does it matter or not we learned it from you? Who came to our home and covered us up Made us kneel to a patriarchal god You have no right to police my body WALANG HIYA - I HAVE NO SHAME My skin was made to drink the sun My skin was made in the image of resistance Adorn me in sampaguita Before white Catholics show up Before white Catholics showed up We shared the rivers and seas We embraced collectivity They brought us disease Bought and sold and still told us We’re going to hell WALANG HIYA I feel like I’m alone Reclaim my voice To shatter swords and take back my shores And put your king in the ground How sweet to die for your own land Where the sun shines all is your friend Supercilious men call me savage Glory to the bangkaw that killed Magellan AYOKO SAYO we're coming for you Blood on the shores and heads on our plates AYOKO SAYO make no mistake We will never satiate Pintados and cannibals in our blood Isang bagsak on our tongues Nieves Fernandez slit your throat No fucking gods

This Land 01:55
Does the suffering of blood lines My brother does not know Fall upon my shoulders Cause I was born in our home Across The great expanse of ocean Of blood and tears Did I waste away the hard earned existence? With no return? But this land was never our land Ripped from the innocent hands it belongs to Infested by those who seek pain and power Born with a gift. Blessed with culture. Rich with passion and an excess of strength. The hope for a better life brings us here. Across The great expanse of ocean Of blood and tears Did I waste away the hard earned existence? With no return? A societal standard implemented to suppress and shatter Corrosive and damning Manipulated to be the way you want me to be Faced with a reality I can no longer see Ideology of dead slave masters is no life for me Born with a gift. Blessed with culture. Rich with passion and an excess of strength. The hope for a better life brings us here.

Night falls and you feel me With bated breath you become An unsuspecting victim You’re torn up, bones broken Your flesh is mine Can you feel it? My fingers on your spine This body is a tomb I die eternally in doom I am a vessel of evil Free me with fire Unholy intent The devil's seen my fate Do I deserve more than damnation? Mortality means nothing Do you know what it’s like? To release all fear and inhibition? Unholy intent Beholden to depravity A marriage of Perverse abomination Embrace your new reality Unholy intent, Bathed in blood and fire. A decadent indulgence. Your suffering is my desire. A conscience is shed, a new skin brandished and worn with pride. Unholy intent Beholden to depravity A marriage of Perverse abomination Embrace your new reality Unholy intent Beholden to depravity There's no escape from me Embrace your new reality
