lyrics

Denialist

Increments
You slept in on the morning of the violence
Woke to a full diagnostic of the incident
Numb to it

Feigned surprise
As a choir of apologists apologize
Well-rehearsed in pretending not to recognize
Those hollow eyes

Unconvinced
By the thin, panicked smile of the revisionist
“We’ll just rewrite the 80s, make it feminist
Non-interventionist”

‘Cause you know that face
From a dream or a memory you can’t quite place
Two round holes that you cut into a pillowcase
The only trace

Phantoms
Desperate to be seen
Dressing up for Halloween a season early

Bite lips
Insist they don’t exist
Cloak ourselves in myths of moderation

The dream begins
You are searching your city for a long lost twin
They are reaching out to you with a phantom limb
Paper thin

Lonely streets
All the ghosts look away before your eyes can meet
You peer out at each other safely underneath
Cold white sheets

Phantoms
Desperate to be seen
Dressing up for Halloween a season early

Breathe deep
Rock ourselves to sleep
In the darkness we repeat this incantation

It’s just an aberration
