In The Beginning is an exploration in language. I have some strong opinions on language and history of language. This particular song focuses on thoughts introduced to me by Helen Cixous in her book "The Laugh Of The Medusa." You like MP3s, WAVs, FLAC, AIFF? Download whatever type you like!
In the beginning was the word You Faggot.
I’ll trade the bitch for slave.
I lost the name we are.
I am creative, all of us are.
Using what strength created,
We make the language work.
It eases. And it’s easy
When you don’t have to explain yourself.
Cut deep, I’m scared to purge.
All the poses I imagined made a magazine
Are really just the manifests of some deluded fantasy.
Really when you look at what you’re saying
Are you looking for a bunch of us to jump
Onto some fucked judicial bandwagon?
I hear the words that go unsaid:
You. Powerhungry. Bastards.
I know. I know. I know.
The words that go unsaid.
I’m waiting for. I’m waiting for. I’m waiting for
What I know, what I do.
What I know is what I do.
I know what I do.
I know what I do.
