GOLIATH Lyrics

Glaring down from the dead fig tree

Feeding on the rot

They stare back with silicone eyes through a grayscale spectrum

They say, "Ain't that neighbor no friend of mine"

We've reached bottom only to find

Corrosion burning up the tree

Don't wanna see past their name

Hunting, writhing

Snort your reflection

Get high off your horses

Denying

Those deciding

You're not hiding anymore

We dance, defiant, despite this place

We dance, so vibrant, transcend your gaze

But your hand moves with just mine

And your scars were traced with the same lines

Still the difference seems so clear

You are there and I am here

This god-fearing reflex

Smites them down to the pavement

And in their image, you catch a piece of yourself that you have always hated

With torches in their palms lit, the mob surrounds, transfixed on their crucifixion

Kind of hard to extend a hand when it's nailed to a cell phone

Bystanders gather 'round to see them stoned and feast on their limbs

Hung, drawn and quartered in the street

Higher chimp, now give me a glimpse

Through this one-way transphobic mirror staring back at yourself

A primal monolith of dominance,

Black, reflecting back at the mass

But how do they know who you are?

Part of your pretentious high-goddamn-art

Making sure you don't walk alone

'Cause they'll club you down with a femur bone

Club you down

(Like a fucking ape)

Club you down

(Like a fucking ape)

Club you down

(Like a fucking ape)

Club you down

(Like a fucking)

Ape

Attack a beauty they do not excuse in their tribe

Can you feel their hand of God drag you out of that bathroom?

Can you prove to them your existence is real?

Philosophize and actualize your flesh -

Can you prove to them that you can feel?

The skeptic in them is never quenched

And when you step on this turf

You put your wounds in their hands and they clench

Your blood pours out

Your blood pours out

Your blood pours out

Into the cupped palm of their god

He drinks from you

He drinks of you

Goliath will fall

Goliath will fall far from this tree

Do you need

what I am not?

Would you believe

In all I am?

No
