You ignore reality
Ignorant of your transgressions
You’ve got no empathy
Until you’ve felt oppression
Do you call out friends
Who speak ill of women, are racist or crass
Do you believe the victims
When they say they’ve been harassed
Intention’s important
but it’s only a step
It gives the illusion
of passion and depth
What if a lover
a sibling a friend
Had their life taken
On who can they depend
If you don’t fight for them
Then who will fight for you
Without the help of others
Then what the fuck else can we do (extend)
***I shouldn’t have to say this, but don’t wait until you’re personally affected to start caring about the rights of others. It may be a stranger today but it’s not long before you or a loved one will experience oppression that limits your freedoms. Fighting for the rights of others ensures rights for yourself.***
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
