False Peace

We will disturb the false peace
Break the walls of the wealthy
Threaten the dominant
Expose the violence that they
Use to defend the realms of the richest
We are the threat
Not just the witness
I'm feeling disobedient
I'm feeling disobedient
We will disturb the false peace
Expose the violence that they
Teach in the way that they designate gender
Code our expression and sexual behaviour
We're not a binary
They occupy our sense of self
Destabilize our mental health
They call us violent to cover their tracks
Distraction tactics
They're sinister
I'm feeling disobedient
I'm feeling disobedient
I'm feeling disobedient
I'm feeling disobedient
We will disturb the false peace

Warp contort mould to what you thought
Lost boys like me try to climb in
Lost boys like me under your skin
Lost boys like me try to climb in
Lost boys like me
They try to contain us
They will not erase us
Living in the cracks inbetween
No place for those who are not seen
Living in the cracks inbetween other lives
Lost boys like me try to climb in
Lost boys like me under your skin
Lost boys like me try to climb in
Lost boys like me lost boys like me
They try to contain us
They will not erase us
Our cracks will grow
Their world will break
There is no give
So we must take
Warp contort mould to what you thought

What did I fear? Was it a fear?
Something that felt unclear
What did I fear? It was a fear
Something that was not clear
Finally I think I found my teeth
Your desire to hurt me shows you're weak
What do you fear? What do you fear?
It comes for you my dear
What do you fear? What do you fear?
It comes for you my dear
Take the fire blistering your insides
Push it out to burn the border lines
What do you fear?
You need to see us to not fear
Us you need to see to not fear
You need to see us to not fear
Us you need to see to not fear
You don't give us space
Then we will take it
We will take it
We will take it

They're tryna build more white cliffs
Their white fucking cliffs
The sea is rising
We rise
London is dead
Europe is lost
I can't keep // My head
My head up // Under
They talk of // The waves
Those who take // My hands
And I have // Let go
Nothing left // She's lost
To give I // My love
Have nothing // She's lost
We rise with water
We rise with the waves
We rise with all those
Who's lives could be
We rise with water
We rise with the waves
We rise with all those
Who's lives could be saved
Working so // I try
Hard to keep // To keep
My head up // Treading water
The sea is rising
We rise
Border violence
Structural violence
Bureaucrat violence
Chemical violence
Binary violence
Property violence
They talk of violence
Industry violence
Cultural violence
Corporate violence
Racialzed violence
Binary violence
Bureaucrat violence
Border violence
We rise with water
We rise with the waves
We rise with all those
Who's lives could be saved
We rise with water
We rise with the waves
We rise with all those
Treading water

Touch Me Again
My domain my temple and my territory my pleasure
Cut cut cut it out
My desire my right to choose or to refuse this encounter
Cut cut cut it out
My agency that non consensual contact tries to take from me
Cut cut cut it out
My fucking mind you undermine my sense of self you pressurize
Cut cut cut it out
Its my body and my choice
It's my body
My fucking choice
My power my psyche and my energy my decision
Cut cut cut it out
My passion could never be ignited by such aggression
Cut cut cut it out
My liberty my body as the base of my autonomy
Cut cut cut it out
I need to see us make progress towards accountability
Cut cut cut it out
Its my body and my choice
Its my body
My fucking choice
My lips my thighs my wrists my mind
My lips my thighs my wrists my spine
My hips my neck my tongue my mind
Touch me again and I'll fucking kill you
Touch me again and I'll fucking kill you
Touch me again and I'll fucking kill you
Touch me again and I will fucking kill you

I could be the bad guy in your story
I could be the villain if you want me to be
I can be anything you want baby
Baby baby poor baby
Baby baby cartoonize me
Baby make your myths about me
Does it make it easy? Does it make it easy?

Women with power must be shouted down
Women with power burned or drowned
Women should take it and not make a sound
Women with power burned or drowned
Women with power must be shouted down
Women with power burned or drowned
Women with power must be shouted down
Women with power women with power
Women with power women with power
Women with power
Sleep tight sleep tight
Witches come out at night
What you constructed it came from within
I am inside you your own creation
I am inside you
Sleep tight sleep tight

I'll give you motherfuckers restless
I'll keep you up all fucking night
I'll steal your gun and bite the bullet
Hey boy I think that you're alright
To smash the state first smash the ceiling
And revel in the broken glass
Feel the shards slice through your fingers
And feel the blood soak through your hands
Oh oh oh make me howl
I'll give you motherfuckers restless
I'll set this god damn house alight
I'll laugh and cry cos its my body
Hey girl I think that you're alright
I'll burn the state right through its ceiling
I'll light the spark and fan the flame
Flood the whole facade with petrol
Hide the can and pass the blame
Oh oh oh make me howl
Oh make me howl

I got no devotion
No devotion
Unleash disorder
Fuck what they taught us
Unleash disorder
I can't get no
Erect shaft-like monuments for your wars
Splatter canvas paint the fucking walls
Place us on plinths
Fetishize female form
Exalt virgins
Frustrate yourself more
Unleash disorder
Fuck what they taught us
Unleash disorder
I can't get no
Phallocentric we're not done when you are
Phallocentric I'm bored of your art
I want to play not perform a routine
I want pleasure not just here to please
Liberate us from these limited constraints
I take the shame take the blame take the pain
And its not right
Not right
I got no devotion
No devotion
Unleash disorder
Fuck what they taught us
Unleash disorder
I can't get no
Phallocentric we're not done when you are
Phallocentric I'm bored of your art

Deflate

I want to stick a pin between your eyes
To deflate all that makes you blind
And your borrowed politics
Really don't mean fucking shit
You'd hijack a movement and all that it means
All that you understand is the scene
None of the beautiful places inbetween
Concealed hierarchies are in place
Who is more visible?
Who's getting space?
Things happen so far from the stage
You its not for you
You not about you
Just words no thought
But the status that you sought
Glass feelings glass cage
You can't embody our rage
You its not for you
You not about you
Cos you borrow politics
You don't really give a shit
You'd hijack this movement and all that it means
All that you understand is the scene
None of the beautiful places inbetween
Concealed hierarchies are in place
Who is more visible? Who's getting space?
It happens so far from the stage
You its not for you
You not about you
If I can't dance then where is my release?
If I can't dance I feel that I can't speak
You its not for you
You not about you
I want to stick a pin between my eyes

Do you wanna do or just appear to?
Do you wanna be or be seen?
Do you want to make the point or be the one who made it?
Oh were you born to lead?
You think you're born to lead
Try and lead me
Rewild rewild resist resist
The structures are violent
The structures persist
Do you wanna do or just appear to?
Do you wanna be or be seen?
Were you present in the picture?
Did it make the whole thing richer?
Did you connect with a person or just with your projection?
Did you see their story in their eyes?
Or did you just check out your reflection?
Will you act now?
Will you act?
Rewild rewild resist resist
The structures are violent
The structures persist
What do you care about?
Have you asked yourself?
What do you care?
