about

November was a long month. Sure, every month has felt longer than the last since the lockdown started, but November in particular was long. It's been so easy to start believing that things are chaotic and doomed, but I'm choosing to believe that despite everything, a miracle can happen here. But only if you try and make that miracle come true. Proceeds from this month's song through the end of 2020 will go to The Movement For Black Lives (m4bl.org)

lyrics

I saw it in the news
When countries get the
Blues we like to say we didn’t
Need to pay off stolen dues
The coast just sits in peace
No tidal waves to
Speak of all the lies we tell
To keep us fast asleep

My enemies still fill my
Bed and when the
Nation turns against the truth
Lies are more than happy to be
Read, when there’s a hole drilled through our
Heads there’s a
Story that you tell to feed
Yourself instead of bread

Miracles can happen here if
Only you would

Buy into the dream
It’s destiny it
Seems to try and manifest the
Pain you’ve always known
The roots are overgrown
Soon it will be
Known that there’s a poison in our
States of mind

It’s far too close to call is
All the pundits say
So much farther we could fall
So many more ways to lose the
Day, but when the open brawl
Consumes our shades of grey, there’s a
Story that they tell to keep
The truth away

Miracles can happen here if
Only you would buy them
Pray to dollars, making sense for the
Fight’s not over yet

Keep the truth alive
When workers cannot
Thrive, there’s many different ways to
Try and hold the line
Hit em where it hurts
The pocketbook or
Purse and watch the oligarchy
Crumble and disperse

I see the rats begin to
Race, and when the
Fat cats shake the dealer’s hand
Pockets form to communes, crack the
Case, we’ve got a legacy to
Write, stop
Listening to stories they tell
Us to stop the fight

Miracles can happen here if
Only you would buy them

It’s gonna take a miracle now
When the skies are filled with red balloons
Gonna take a miracle now to
Wake up in the morning

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.
