Between the stars I am alone Between the brutal I am unwhole In nothingness There is nothing less than we We can be seen adrift in freedom's mockery Yet no one sees me Between the stars The bright without right Alight in a hollow guise of equality Their core an unholy license of luminosity Burning despite me Between the stars I'm not alone Like dust upon a stolen throne We dirty the shine Then get brushed aside Through a lens Both near and distant lands Who once appeared well in tranquility Come into focus To dwell in crime and deceit In a vacuum of disparity Blanketing Holding Voiding Destroying The gravity of our position, our situation Will pull you back It will hurt to learn Be aware, alert Come back Look up See us Dust -- TRANSITIONSGLOBAL.COM

The last to speak a dying tongue haunts these halls alone Just to hear familiar tones But finds only dialects unknown It’s never home Though it helps suspend the troubling belief That no longer does anyone feel anything but me The last to speak a dying tongue shouts bygone prose alone While the morons march Well merchandised Into a black hole In their sublingual race to be the first to find poorer posture in space “The end is neigh!” says the old timer So hear me now This is a tribal split from the status quo Cause we know that the personal is the political So let’s tell ‘em now We don’t comply We don’t abide By rules and roles that leave us misdefined We’re the poor and pissed off Fucked up and ripped off Don’t lift off We can transcend In these rare moments The blows that the world strikes upon us Authentically With fluency -- This song was inspired by the short story The Marching Morons by C. M. Kornbluth.

released January 27, 2012

These songs came about due to Transitions, an amazing organization in Phnom Penh, Cambodia that helps sexually trafficked girls heal from the past and reclaim their lives. Every penny made from these recordings goes to them. The first pressing of tapes (99) will raise over $700 alone. If you ever thought that hardcore doesn't, can't, won't, or never changed anything, you were wrong. We're not a big band. Never have been, never will be. But even a little band like us can do big things. Hardcore changes US, and through US can change everything. Don't let this scene be just music. It is so, so much more.

Please check out the amazing work they do at: www.transitionsglobal.org

"If we can't choose to stop slavery, how can we say that we are free?" - Kevin Bales in Disposable People

"There are 27 million people in slavery today. They are forced to work without pay, under threat of violence, and they’re unable to walk away. You can find them in brothels, factories, mines, farm fields, restaurants, construction sites and private homes. Many slaves have been tricked by traffickers who lure vulnerable people with false promises of good jobs or education. Some slaves are marched to work at gunpoint. Others are trapped by phony debts from unscrupulous moneylenders. Slavery is illegal everywhere, but it happens nearly everywhere. Get educated, get activated. Donate. Participate. And spread the word that you don’t want to live in a world with slavery in it." - freetheslaves.net
