about

We reside on stolen land. We have delineated fictitious “walls” to “protect” what we’ve appropriated by genocidal violence, taking and justifying. Now there is shock “others” filtered in and continue to. We are unaware of, or ignore, the factors the US contributes (and has historically) to the displacement of people now in dire situations. Nobody wants to leave their home. If there’s a rattling at your door, ask who this house used to belong to, then ask how you’ve been undermining neighbors’ houses for centuries.

lyrics

We’ve lived in this home for so long. A lineage.
It’s handed down to hands who far from built it.

Now just brother and sister;
left from generations.
This is what’s legacy.
Walls and a roof that keep in shadows.

And dust gathers again each dusk.
Everyday chores and routine.

But we aren’t the only ones here.
Something stirs in the darkness
of the recessed rooms.

Muffled steps, voices,
noises from the other side.
The sound of something crashing to the floor.
Shut the door with lock,
cut your losses.

Sounds in the next room.
Keeps rattling the doors.
He won't leave.
The ghost in the next room
Keeps tapping the walls.
The work’s unfinished.
The day is never done.
The ghost in the next room
keeps tapping the walls,
keeps rattling the doors.
Ghost in the next room
Has kicked down the door.
