Past is the present
And the present is now
Those things they still exist for me
They’re happening, still happening
If i could truly be three dimensional
Without no time
I’d leave all my bags at the turnstile
And live me a different life

Time is forgetting,
Getting longer and older
A whole is disintegrating
Only the pieces remain
Pieces of a time
Of a time that was then and is now
And i dont know how

But who would I be
Without the whole of me
Without you and the rest of those bits and pieces
What would I even see
A present undefined due to the nonexistence of
A future or past
I’d rather have a self to compare myself to
Try to make it last

AMARANTHINE



-chorus-
Mass surveillance
We let it into our homes
Laptops and smart TVS
Ring cameras on doors
Mics and lenses
In every one of our damn pockets

v1
On my way to work and i can feel eyes on me
1 2,3,4 mechanized on me
Smile, you’re on camera
Daily life tracked man they got you on a map
We’re in so deep idk to get back
Am i person or am i just a profile

We made our neighbors our enemies
The morning news is amphetamine

Media sows fear in the people
Distrust runs deep, mm

Tragedies served on a silver platter
Isolated events to spark the chatter

And meanwhile people go hungry
gotta beg and steal to feed a tummy

Its all a shame
violence normalized

all this compounds into
a worldview built on a familiar foundation of fearing new
We’re made to fear the other
But never consider them people
to feel safe we embrace

-chorus-

v2
Gotta be living in a spy movie just to feed my neighborhood
My plans gotta be top secret
Lock it in a box, throw away the key
Wear a face mask when we pull up on the police
Dodging cameras middle of the night
Different routes, sneaking out of sight

Leave your cellphone at the door
Cus we at war to fight for more for liberation
Information age, surveillance state
No time to wait or waste away
We’ll take it back from the fascist classist
People emancipate

You wanna take back your streets?
You wanna occupy your territory?
You wanna seize back your community?
We’ll show em the power of anarchy

-chorus-

I’m asking yall to get on your feet right fuckin now
Cus we’re boutta tear this shit to the ground

State can't handle me
State can't handle us

-chorus-


WIRETAPPED

lyrics:

put me in your institutions
it's not me - it's your confusion
television - mind pollution
education - dissolution

i will never die

inundated and sedated
drunken, numb, irradiated
pacified and draped in lies
but i have never, ever faded

i will never die
