lyrics

Comfortable with the contradiction
Opportunistic dialectism and a shit ton of overly academic terms
Caught in the afterthought
Repackaged all regrets that you bought and we’re just tracing the damage patterns

CHORUS:
Did you forget where you came from?
Are you just going in circles?
Did you forget where you came from?
Are you just going in circles?

Existential but not consequential
it’s essential but non denominational
Bipartisan don’t mean shit in this imperialist context
Fuck this system and the ship that brought it in

Decolonial isn’t an aboriginal sin
500 years later we still resist
it should be unsettling and it should be very fucking unsettling

CHORUS:
Did you forget where you came from?
Are you just going in circles?
Did you forget where you came from?
Are you just going in circles?

All the ashes scattered
where our fields once stood
and they’re still reading between the lines searching for something good
There's nothing redeeming here
This ain’t no song for redemption
So fuck your reform, it’s straight abolition
So fuck your reform, it’s straight abolition

CHORUS:
Did you forget where you came from?
Are you just going in circles?
Did you forget where you came from?
Are you just going in circles?
