eight by ten 03:29
out of sight, out of mind black out the sun and kill what's inside eight by ten, torture from within brutality through isolation; terrible conditions cruel institutions human rights violations the hunger eats away the canary sings from her cage and i hear her swan song what we don't see doesn't hurt us families torn apart fatherless children the starving and their human hearts
2.
rich white, pro-life, right wing conservatives victim blaming, religious fundamentalists they blame her for it they blame her outfit they want her child saved at all cost but cut the funds to the orphanages such holy people they blame the victim save the fetus then starve the orphan they are talking about life but they don't care about hers they are talking about life but support killing prisoners they are talking about life but support bombing countries they are talking about life but have no respect for it such ugly family portraits hang in their homes
3.
there are enemies among us in our movements and in our homes in our circles, in our shadows in our streets and in our scenes enemies everywhere false allies and informants void of all substance political and ethical salience what do you even fucking stand for? infectious disease you sing to our songs but poison our well what do you even fucking stand for? you are not welcome here manarchist pigs! machismo muscle men! liberal slime! you are not my fucking ally
4.
struggling not to drown in our nihilism or be weighed down by our paranoia we are beaten red and bewildered by the trauma of our oppression and the struggle for change but our fists stay risen for our fire is feral and we have seen our movements fall and our tactics criminalized our allies divided and our sisters brutalized but our fists stay risen for our fire is feral we are not few we are just isolated
5.
by any means necessary means no sympathy we cannot accept any kind of compromise strong willed militancy over passivity means we can not allow anyone to get in our way stick to yr guns remember yr herstory know yr enemy cherish yr allies we are not here to make friends we are here to make change if we are gonna be critical of everything we know then we got to be critical of the company that we keep if we are gonna be critical of everyone we know then we have got to be critical of ourselves
