The Fascists Are Coming

from Love and Unfortunately Fascism by Tyler Shipley

/

lyrics

i'm at least three-fifths coward, so this may surprise you. gonna open this barricade so you can come through. you can mix up my metaphors, shake out the dust in my eyes. cos i've been dead in my heart since 2000-something, keep doing the same thing, surprise, nothing's changing. let chevron and shell write the rules and the water will rise. and i can see a future i don't want to live in where i'm angry and sad and i'm lonely and i won't give in and i don't see the point of living if that's where i go. see the fascists are coming, our days might be numbered, there's things i've forgotten i gotta remember like putting out love without knowing where it's gonna go.

in thirty-six years i've gotten accustomed to seeing the signs, to knowing the hustle, and getting out early while the damage can still be contained. treat life like a facebook so carefully curated, gas that corolla while pumping on the brake, no ruffling feathers or inappropriate pain. cos i can see a future i don't want to live in where i'm angry and sad and i'm lonely and i won't give in, and i don't see the point of living if that's where i go. see the fascists are coming, our days might be numbered, there's things i've forgotten i gotta remember like putting out love without knowing where it's gonna go.

back to the point, yeah the matter at hand is that i've met someone who could break me in half with a look, a whisper, a snap or an unreturned text. i should bail, there's no question, this is gonna end badly, says every instinct i've developed to keep me, but fuck it, i'm staying, please pull me ashore when i wreck. cos i can see a future i don't want to live in where i'm angry and sad and i'm lonely and i won't give in, and i don't see the point of living if that's where i go. see the fascists are coming, our days might be numbered, there's things i've forgotten i gotta remember like putting out love without knowing where it's gonna go
