Duration: P00H02M26S
Description: We outgrow our home, abandon the prison of established aesthetics, and escape the hierarchies we replicated in our attempt to disavow our oppressors.

lyrics

Neil:

I’ve been wearing my ideals
on a worn patch on my jeans
but these tired old symbols
won’t affect any change
in the face of oppression
we need our hearts on our sleeves
instead of tired old symbols
we need love, action, and rage

Drew:

sentenced to the world
etched in signs and symbols
scrawled on stones and mirrors
drawn in palms and fingers
hungry ghosts trying to connect
