Sold Out

lyrics

I see you're calling it god
I hear you're listening to the wind
When our friends are piled high
In the old corpse ditch again

I am terrified that we'll sell something else
When our ethics are just changeable will we just sell ourselves?

To the boss, the crooked ladder used to eat our marble eyes
Now someone is dead and now someone else will die.

While you're worried about bad apples
We are wary of the roots
Because no healthy tree
Naturally bears strange fruit

It's been said a million times but I will not bear the cross I've been looking for meaning in a poem that never stops.

Well all become the thin red line
We will all become the thin red line
If we can't fix the bottom maybe it's time
That we'll all become the thin red line

Janes Dysphoria
by Virtual Bird

supported by 20 fans who also own “Thin Red Line”

A queer folk punk album that brings the anxieties and the insecurities of the trans experience to the forefront. The instrumentals and vocals really sell the concept of this album. Wonderfully vulnerable or full on rage in others. The blood, sweat and tears put into this album is very clear. Some of her best work yet! arvemis

Layering guitars and saxes over synths and drum machines, this Oakland duo's darkwave is as melodically potent as it is texturally rich. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 1, 2024
