lyrics

The same blood flows through our veins. However, I’m ashamed that somehow people still claim they have the ability to establish a hierarchy of the value of life simply based on sexuality, nationality, disability, ownership of property, beliefs, past deeds… practically anything. We’re the all same despite … practically everything. We all are subject to our surroundings. It’s a new feudal system that keeps us complacent and subjugated while relieved at least we aren't “one of them.” But there is no “them.” There’s just an “us” that struggles enough as it is. The collective us includes the them. You are we. I am everyone.

This album finely articulates the roller coaster of emotions that come with every relationship, especially those that ultimately fail. Gloomy yet cathartic. frank!
