being in the time zone i’m currently in meant that i woke up just as the first polls were closing. i watched anxiously, while trying to go about my day as usual, as he consistently held the lead both in the popular and electoral vote. while not surprised, i immediately began to mourn for those whose lives will immediately be affected by the unfortunate outcome of this election. all i knew to do was to try to offer the tiniest bit of hope to them, to all of us. i know it’s not much, but working on this helped me keep sane (?!) throughout this tragedy. here is my ‘election anxiety/america is over edit’ of beyoncé’s 'formation'.

all we can do right now as we look hate in the face is respond with love. channel your anger, your sorrrow, all of your confusion. for good. stay safe, but offer a loving hand. mobilize.

FORMATION (ELECTION ANXIETY/AMERICA IS OVER EDIT)

prod. NOCTIS

lyrics

[verse 1]
i had a lot on my mind
i had a lot to define
you had to hide
you weren't a lover of mine
you were trying to avoid all of your problems
i was busy solving riddles
you didn't care to understand
and look at what you've left me with babe

i'm trying 
i'm choking to keep it down
i'm stumbling through all the motions
that we created with our bullshit
can't you see where we destroyed this
you were lying to my face you saw the end
(babe) you were over it

[chorus]
every time we touched 
it felt like i was swollen, swollen
baby [x14]
every time we touched
it felt like i was swollen, swollen
'cause when you put your hands on me
i can feel the venom burning deep

[verse 2]
i could just say "fuck it" too
i can pretend i don't care (oh no)
i can forget all the memories
and rip your fingers from my hair

[pre-chorus]
and i will rip you from my skeleton
before i spiral into nothingness again
if i knew your love was paper thin
i wouldn't have let this begin

[chorus]
every time we touched 
it felt like i was swollen, swollen
baby [x14]
every time we touched
it felt like i was swollen, swollen
'cause when you put your hands on me
i can feel the venom burning deep

[bridge]
(no, no) i'm not gonna be the victim anymore
(babe) don't you try me again
why was i the one?
why was i the one?
was i?

[chorus]
every time we touched 
it felt like i was swollen
you never had my back
you pushed me to the wall
and you let me go
you let me go
you let me go
you let me go

Swollen
