Felt a little bit off today, haven’t
Done what I promised to do or say
Felt like we’re slipping out of key, like we’re slipping out of
Time, unchained to the rhythm I obey
When the world has turned upside-down, with the
Roads blocked off, all the cars in the foreground are
Singing Hallelujah to the dollar, over the
Squalor of the bodies in the ground, I am
Off-tempo, I’m off-key
Don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Gonna figure it out eventually
Hopefully, but I know
We’re a couple blocks from
Normal, and it's only getting worse
When lies abound
Around us, it can feel like we were cursed
But the echoes of the
Chanting leave us with a last remark
“The world could go on dancing, if you'd
Fight enough to stay out of the dark"
I have always craved a different
Way to live my life, but
Every day I dance on blades
Obey the corporation’s knife
With a demagogue’s silver tongue, we gotta
Unmake mistakes to get shit done, but they’re
Throwing Hail Marys to the market, over the
Carnage from the spiking of the punch, I am
Off-tempo, I’m off-key
Don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Gonna make a new creature out of me
Hopefully, but I know
We’re a couple blocks from
Normal, and it's only getting worse
When lies abound
Around us, it can feel like we were cursed
But the echoes of the
Chanting leave us with a last remark
“The world could go on dancing, if you'd
Fight enough to stay out of the dark"
This is not the end of the story, I will not be
Swayed or dissuaded by the glory, it was sorely
Missed when the old normal fell, many could have
Kissed it when the moral hit the wake-up bell
Words can slay Goliath but a
Song tells David’s tale
The messenger has bias but
The riot never fails
I’ve always been one to mix things
Unable to fix things, but friend to the gestalt
In between the genre and the drama,
Trauma built into our politics at fault
There’s a sentiment I
Represent at heart
A statement of my intentions
Before I fall apart
“The world could go on dancing, if you'd
Fight enough to stay out of the dark"

The Facades Amherst, Massachusetts
The Facades is the solo project of a queer electronic music composer (she/they) who thinks consistent gender and consistent genre are for scrubs. The characters they portray take a front seat, with a witty lyrical edge to speak truth to power.
