about

most of the lyrics of this song are taken directly from a pamphlet called "desert" by anonymous; two of the lines are taken from a bob hicok poem entitled "in michael robins's class minus one."

lyrics

forward
no future
it's later than we thought
it's later than we thought
in our hearts we know
the world will not be saved
nature bats last
ghost acres and desert storms
wildness melts and sways
wild hearts break themselves

empire's desert
colonizes your veins
but fire is the basis for
all forms of the mouth

our guts are graveyards
a perennial insurrection

when active disillusionment is libratory
wild hearts break themselves
wild hearts clean themselves
wild hearts avenge themselves
wild hearts take care

wild hearts take care

Chaotic, fast, crushing. Let these raw punk masterpieces wallow under the radar and be gratefully remembered by all those who experienced their fury. RIP Body Betrayal
