These are the lies that everyone denies A parasitic force more masculine than god Send in the clowns A colourless dream to dream Your unity is not for me Dressed in war paint, the weak need not apply Good clean scene politics I used to live for this shit I was wired to the core The anthems of my youth don’t ring true anymore Send in the clowns A colourless dream to dream Your unity is not for me Incomplete, disconnect We thought we all would benefit From togetherness as show of force A promise like a dirty bomb Phantom limbs, saving face Equality was just a phase somehow Send in the clowns

Murder, apathy, death in custody How long can you deny this lived reality? We watch how things never change Every day they earn our hate Hold your breath. What justice were you hoping for? Hold your breath. They targeting skin colour Hold your breath. What justice were you hoping for? Hold your breath. Become the law Full impunity for racist police Black tape over badge They know that you can’t breathe Hold your breath. What justice were you hoping for? Hold your breath. Make yourself hard to kill Hold your breath. What justice were you hoping for? Hold your breath. Become the fucking law Our defiance knows no end, it’s all about but contempt As long as this fire burns it’s Us vs Them Violence and abuse, systemic and profuse Justice before peace, fuck the police

Slow catharsis, ill defeat Cannibalise everything Too late for apologies Douse the flame of hope Trauma-taught. The never-ending bloodletting Trauma-taught. We’re sinners on death row Trauma taught us everything Death defiance, no retreat Coldness pervades everything I can’t remember who I am Red spit from a sick host Trauma-taught. The never-ending bloodletting Trauma-taught. We’re sinners on death row Trauma taught us everything Walk through the fire with a grin because it ends where it begins We need demarcation now from the nemesis within We are broken. So what? It always used to be like that Another tied rope hanging low Another day in the grip of the undertow Years of defeat and the damage done Some shadows never cease A lesson hard won Trauma taught us everything Trauma taught us everything Trauma taught us everything
