lyrics

There's nothing I can say
That hasn't already been said
About greed and short sightedness
Abrupt loss of consciousness

I wish I knew the words to
Articulate my own hopelessness
"How could they let this happen?"
And you know they'll get away with it

Empty words on the establishment
And they fuck the environment
And you can't make a difference
'Cause you're young and dumb

Regurgitate your talking points
To justify your bigotry
And spend all of your effort
On telling us we're naïve
Expect us to listen to you
Openly condescend the
People who your actions affect

When we stay up late
Because we're terrified
Of some bankrupt, rapist
Billionaires who don't care
Whether we die

Don't waste your time on someone
Who couldn't care less
Someone whose only concern
Rests on if they get their paycheck

And who think
We're so fucking stupid
"Get off your high horse or get used to it"
That's why I feel so
Borderline helpless
You can't do shit living
Paycheck to paycheck
And you know things are
Fucked, don't panic

You left your shit up in the attic

None of us have the keys to the ship!
Manifest Destiny is bullshit!
But you already know that!

Following the ending of a previous local project in 2017, Courage Mother was a project that originated from the desire to overcome. Their songs typically are very high in intensity, structurally adventurous, and lyrically address situations of trauma and growth. ... more
