dualism 04:48
Dualism is a prison I did more than I thought Now I think more than I do Dualism is a prison A prison i occupy Stuck in between Different ways of being Torn apart at the seems Don’t know which parts are Actually me And if there ever was Is and am now What is self beyond Everybody else, Who am we? Neither a man nor a woman Liberal or conservative Something about anarcho-communism And Gender abolition No black or white It’s grey all the time Where am I I’m floating like I want to get out, but I can’t

I thought I needed you to be happy But my comrades taught me Love’s not possession It’s solidarity Salty sea spray in my face Clear, if only in this embrace Boys, sailors, seamen Take the wheel, jump deck Strike the sails and grab his neck We’re taking this ship Oh, captain, off you are It’s time to take a trip To the bottom of this Deep blue ditch Wait I feel the water inside Your lungs spill out My eyes

about

The songs in 'an illustration of containment' were inspired by Stuart Hall, Angela Davis, Assata Shakur, Karl Marx, Kenneth Anger, the radical left meme universe, post protest angsty anarchist feels, as well as, polyamorous and queer growing pains. Various Marxist cultural studies scholars influenced us to view this collection of songs as a part of a punk subculture which has already been contained, defined, and redefined--a radical counterculture that has already gone through processes of incorporation into the mainstream. Our music exists against and invariably within that process of incorporation.
