Leanne Betasamosake Simpson - Viscosity lyrics

Calling out, calling in
You’re not fooling me

Tethered to the kinship of
Disassociated zeros and ones
Shining your crown of neoliberal likes
Yelling the loudest in the empty room

Gathering followers like berries
Feeding fish to insecurity
Sliding into reckless moment
After reckless moment we witness

Too many holes in your hide
The broken skin of a canoe
The tightening of a mind
Tracks, leading nowhere

At the beach, we build a fire
Sit in our own silence peel off blue light
Lie back on frozen waves breath in sharp air


Warm into each other careful moment
After careful moment

Calling out, calling in
You’re not fooling me

Tethered to the kinship of
Disassociated zeros and ones
Shining your crown of neoliberal likes
Yelling the loudest in the empty room

We witness

Too many holes in your hide
The broken skin of a canoe
The tightening of a mind
Tracks, leading nowhere at the beach
We build a fire (We build a fire)
Sit in our own silence
(Sit in our own silence)
Peel off blue light (Sit in our silence)
Lie back on frozen waves (At the beach)
Breath in sharp air (We build a fire)
Warm into each other (Sit in our own silence)
Careful moment after careful moment
(Sit in our silence)

At the beach (At the beach)
We build a fire (We build a fire)
Sit in our own silence
(Sit in our own silence)
Peel off blue light (Sit in our silence)
Lie back on frozen waves (At the beach)
Breath in sharp air (We build a fire)
Warm into each other (Sit in our own silence)
Careful moment after careful moment
(Sit in our silence)

At the beach (At the beach)
We build a fire (We build a fire)
Sit in our own silence
(Sit in our own silence)
Peel off blue light (Sit in our silence)
Lie back on frozen waves (At the beach)
Breath in sharp air (We build a fire)
Warm into each other (Sit in our own silence)
Careful moment after careful moment
At the beach (At the beach)
We build a fire (We build a fire)
Sit in our own silence
(Sit in our own silence)
Peel off blue light (Sit in our silence)
Lie back on frozen waves (At the beach)
Breath in sharp air (We build a fire)
Warm into each other
Careful moment after careful moment

At the beach we build a fire
Sit in our own silence peel off blue light
Lie back on frozen waves breath in sharp air
Warm into each other careful moment
After careful moment
