shrouded
cloaked under an invisible force
shaped
we can only speak their words
beaming
a lovely side effect
empty
no, no regret (for you)
why are we all crazy, clawing
devouring ourselves and starving
we're starving
smile
don't tell tell me to smile
beaming, empty

paralyzed. you won
it could be real - for some
i'm full of hate and poop
make me stay at home
turn on the megaphone
social control - a precaution
a good, good reason
trust/reliance/greed/compliance
abate my anxiety
keep the world safe from me
i'm not alone and it's the worst
i can't contain the curse
cough on the rich
hoard! die! kill! die!
it's all for me, right?

almost over
04:49
|
|||
|
the wheels coming off of meaning
i'll disappear from always hiding
my jagged edges nature
drags me from room to room
compelled by compulsion
all drivel codified
work itself won't work itself out
and time can only burn
my own tangle of layers
i'm wrapped up in wrapping me up
i'm glad that it is almost over
there is no such thing as enough

wonder why they're all the same
use the same devices
incendiary doors
nevermind, they're all the same
and we know what these pigs will eat
embrace deep belief
implant their seed
the only out is to feed the beast
you yield, huddled in teams
teeming with the hunger to be free
slip your grief into the mail slot of disease
the only peace for a sinner
burn you won for your protection
serve the crown. know discretion
you'll survive. acclimate to poison
put on you face, sweet
serve the toxins
beauty is deadly, use the gaze
used to no safety
helplessness your strength
condemn, condemn
spit fire, your fire

ephemera
03:14
|
|||
|
slow death of cowardice
choking out the wilderness
what's wild in you
imploded as the sparks flew
silence settles in
air too heavy to breathe
charred and weak
we see the green
too late
we got it wrong
shadows shift
i'm the only one
who lost a glimpse of ephemera
who couldn't see
she wasn't done
who couldn't wait
for transmutation
too late
it'll take too long
the life is gone
|

|
no small seed
the blood you make us bleed
the roots it feeds
cracks slowly spread
rivers through concrete
splitting beneath our feet
withered. fell.
to only know our endlessness
|

stars / starving / rage / fear/
scars / water
shackled by trauma
dodging bullets
walking on eggshells
fear my bad time
i drank the water in their desert
they found a way
to make me pay for ti
we'll drink the water
we'll find a way

universally forgiven
collective isolation
the privilege to drown
and set the pace
sugar and forgetting
hoping to be forgotten
we inherited this driving sepsis
let it flow
be one with the detritus
it only hurts if you think about it
sweet sugar
just forget about ti
i don't know how you do it
i can't see how they pulled it off
i dunno, i wanna kill it
or maybe just forget it all
i wanna kill it
forget it all

i am sorry for a world that will kill you
over and over
a world i can live in
for a sickness that convinces
that beauty is the real fiction
that the truth is ugly
that strength is cold, hard
that your kindness was weak
for a world that taught you
be sweet to everyone
when you could only be yourself
i can't stay
stay up all night
this is something i don't know how to fight
be sweet to everyone
i'm sorry

ritualistic blasphemy
02:34
|
|||
|
they stripped her of her power
rewrote her history
tried to rip the earth from within her
ritualistic blasphemy
declared her limbs their land
claimed her guts their sustenance
took hold of all they touched
taught us to lie flat
i am here
send me
i am dirt
defend me
make me keep my babies
claim them as your own
you'll know who wears the crown
you can't erase what you cannot see
evil, evil divinity
we are here
we are free
we are her
you're enemy

about
Nearly four years since the release of the basically prophetic summer
camp doom diary, Church Fire's new album out now on Witch Cat Records is somehow noisier, more confrontational and more both fraught with and purging of the trauma of facing the escalating threat of authoritarian conservative culture. The band — now a trio with the addition of Kate Warner formerly of Mirror Fears and David Samuelson moving to drums,with Shannon Webber still in the role of musical catharsis shaman on vocals — takes aim at that ambient, corrosive darkness with a playful
and spirited critique set to paradoxically strident and fluid beats. Not
every song is a thorny rebuke. In “almost over" and “painless” there
is a meditation on vulnerability and an expression of tender feelings
that give the scorching histrionics and pointed critique of other tracks
a context, and the overall arc of music a depth, that is rarely found on
albums that are as gloriously poetic and enthralling in their invective.
