Where's your right Where’s your right where’s your right To Point The Finger Where's your right where’s your right where’s your right To Draw The Lines you go throughout the world declaring your doctrines of permissibility. Genocide, deportation, family values denigrated pitted against your bureaucracy say your breaking down economic barriers while building the walls to support corporate towers. "citizens" foot the bill for the destruction of immigrant lives. its no wonder... Patriotism A guise of possession thievery breeds paranoia
3.
Disdain runs so deep, our own body would betray Even the womb is not a safe space Translated into every aspect of our lives We are taught to blame each other, taught to blame ourselves A society in which our brothers would turn away A society in which rape is followed by a laugh track An industry that shames the very behavior it encourages I can’t tune in without throwing up Can’t reconcile the abuse with my existence Your denial of the situation is your participation
4.
everyday, another reason to hate every minute, another lost faith violated in schools, under our own roof theres no refuge in family or friend every institution a callous hand The smell of ashes carries. An innocent sinner burning. 5,000 miles away, We still burn How many people will watch on as young women scream in pain?

My legs! I count the distance in the space, between my thighs disgraced by this violent disgust on my waist; from dust to dust Starving, overcompensating Anxiety remedied in secret There is never relief, only self-defeat Can’t come to terms with my own body Every resource is the source of the problem No reference to how I feel matched up against the way the world views us “Lose 30 pounds, in just 30 days” “How to please your man, in this many ways” “Apply this product now, look young forever” A market sustained by robbing self esteems Our mothers and sister have no room to breathe Obsessing, as shards bite my feet Tiny reflections of self- loathing
6.
Lured by cries of sanctuary, delusion of safe embrace forgetting the site of violence follows us in wait even within back alleys of refuge, lie dark corners of deception shadows of societies predation you are not my friend. Even if I had an army behind me, I'd lose But all I have is the skin borrowed off a few shoulders to cry on The dignity of another beast saved, community at convenience They're doing their part to make up for their part Her tears burned right through my chest, sit in my skull, make me depressed but your arrogance remains in tact can still feel mistrust more than touch
7.
We don’t even have the language to understand our children Generations of repressed self-expression over-medicated, misunderstood There’s no patience for difference We couldn’t walk away from our problems Couldn’t walk away from myself So they separate us quarantined So they separate us quarantined Treat us like we are a disease But there’s no real healing So we’ll turn on ourselves Still try to figure out the problem Don’t know where to start No one can help Therapy is an institution Our mental health is a market Turned our feelings into profit I feel shame Though I’ve no blame (I) bear this pain You turn me away / call me insane

XVI - Skin 01:36
A: my spirit's crying from a dark place like i'm in a hollow egg shell -- i could crack so easy -- but i keep pressure on all sides, so i'll never break free, from an exterior that binds -- rather than reflects -- me i’m starving -- shrinking away -- It goes beyond physical recognition, it’s heart palpitations and metronomed rhythms it’s brain shocks! nightmares! i feel, inside, that I’m different than the person in pictures i identify as than this mask in the mirror that won’t come off -- fused to this face, i can’t name to this day fused to these bones, i don’t know i dont own En bloc, nom de guerre -- in this skin that shivers and quivers as it cloaks me in this flesh

eager to fulfill, well priced coping mechanisms Every aspect since birth backed by special interests, clamouring for loyalty to a mark, to an idea fabricated needs, found on aisle 3 conveniently placed, readily made sandwiched between, memories of species (and) reputations, built for ruin inevitably lining monuments to our accomplishments odors of success, emit from greed, double bagged, preserved As a testament, to their children every reach to the shelf, reveals hands bathed in guilt rust and dust, on my sleeve dependency, slow suicide every deal is a murder I wouldnt commit if the appeal, didn’t cast a, convenient shadow Competition: modern idolatry the god of healthy economies Take pride in this Your culture, of blind indulgence

about

Recreant Tampa, Florida

recreant |ˈrekrēənt| archaic
(noun) a person who is unfaithful to a belief; an apostate.

Cheddar wanted a screamo band, B wanted a grind band, Tristan wanted a crust band, and Jesse wanted a metal band, so we just threw it all together, mixed it with that Florida flavor, our Miami mami Ashley, and made what we like to call swampcore.
