I have made incisions from stomach to sternum,
severed living heads,
I have watched blood drip from eyes,
I have broken necks.
I have shot lead into bodies,
seen torn and ragged flesh,
felt both cold and warm blood on my hands,
and wondered if I was next.
I have exposed sacks of organs,
cut open stomachs to see inside,
I have taken so many and I still don’t,
know what it means to be alive.
So you who use the logic a corporation uses,
to decide what commercials to run,
think you can make assertions,
based on sex or based on blood.
I have lived this life before you,
this life I am inside,
and if you try to tell me who I am,
I will stop you every time.
The color my skin,
the genitals I was born with,
the jobs my parents held.
If you try to tell me who I am,
I will stop you every time.
As much as I like the current line up, I do miss the dynamic that Marissa's voice added to the band. Plus, she's one of the better washboard players out there. Terry Aston

I don't think anything I write here will do justice to the artist who commited to this.
It feels like he lets his heart open up to you with vulnerability and colours of sorrow, confusion, frustration and hope. All at once. And it's genuine.
What does it all mean? Read the title. It all falls down in place and it's truly great. szczur
