lyrics

sitting under an iridescent sun chained to the corporeal world
they can hear the singing bowls call to them
moments before twilight here comes the bomb

it's on fire and i'm in it and i can't breathe

they're ok with two men holding hands
but tend to shame men who ask for theirs
so all the noise is just a smokescreen
perfect buddhas pretending to care

a safe space is interrupted when it gets too complex
for those who've existed with no disruption
upholding normativity, upholding that context

it's on fire and i'm in it and i'm waving and i can't breathe.
