about

In a world filled with juxtaposed opinions and clashing ideals, it is getting progressively harder to know where to stand. It can be nearly impossible not to get bogged down in fighting the opposition or slaving towards winning small mercies. It all seems so vast, so utterly impossible to grasp.

But there are rare occasions when a clearing appears through the density. These moments when everything is laid out in its most digestible form, is worth waiting for. The woods briefly comes into view and with it a sense that it is all so obvious.

We cannot go on like this, in this pressure cooker waiting to be boiled alive. We are heading towards a grand finale; the likes of which mankind has never seen before. As we navigate through the late stages of capitalism, its true face appears clearer now than ever before; we the people are expendable.
And like the true dying beast that it is, it will not go down easy. It will not go down alone. Don’t let it’s dying cries drown out what has become clear to you; we’re conflict bound.

lyrics

Suck, suckling life from the soil
Demanding more from the day
Leaving rooms empty
While stepping over bodies in door ways

And I will try to cut my teeth
On your sheltered point of view
But its leaving me empty and declawed
A poor use of my time

Oh, it’s just another point of view
Another chance for you to turn away
I know you’ve heard it all before
But hear it once more before you turn away
Just once more and we’ll try,
Because we’re conflict bound
We’re conflict bound.

The branches we hack at in reform
Leaves little in progress and will to fight worn
Come gather around I’ve got some news
Freedom begins when needs are cut loose

Labouring force keeps the pressure on
Systemic flaws and all that’s wrong
Estrange the work, keep punching down
What do we know? Well we’re conflict bound

But oh, it’s just another point of view
Another chance for you to turn away
I know you’ve heard it all before
But hear it once more before you turn away
Just once more and we’ll try,
Because we’re conflict bound
We’re conflict bound.
Bound

We’re conflict bound
But I know, you’ve hear it all before
But hear it once more before you turn away
Just once more and we’ll try,
Because we’re conflict bound
We’re conflict bound.
