lyrics

Held a sodden breath,
every muscle tensed.
Shower running cold
over aching shoulders
‘til the dread lets up
and you buckle forward.

Then you’re slipping out
through the ash and smoke.
Slow leak siphoning the engine oil,
trace a crude path everywhere you go.

Everything you do,
everything you touch,
everyone you love
gets used up.

It’s a brutal business
and it lays you low,
like a condom wrapper
on a service road.

A face you can’t forget,
the 19th honourable grifter skid.
Treaty 8 burns a tarry lung;
the king and the land are one.

Burn with all your might
against a pipeline’s civil rights.
A coughing fit, a motion to buy in,
while blaming us for fostering
a hostile climate?

Everything they do
everything they touch,
a disposable mindset,
we may never survive it.

Fight like a dying species
rejecting parasitic scum,
before everyone you love
gets used up.

In a capital sick with greed
it can already feel too late, I know,
but we can’t falter now
this fight’s not ours to postpone.

Everything they do,
everything they touch,
a disposable mindset-
may they never survive it. 

Fight like a dying species
rejecting parasitic scum,
before everyone you love
gets used up.
