I am an entity.
I am courage.
I am love.
I am unfinished.
I am not your sassy black friend.
I am not exotic.
I will not spit a rhyme for you.
I will not twerk for your amusement.
No, you can not touch my hair.
You can watch me work twice as hard as my counterparts because this is how I was created. I was born and bred in a white world. My uniform was one of unison, and it was one of self-loathing. The kinks in my hair, and the power of those who paved the way before me, are my reason to succeed. I will no longer smooth out my complexion to suit your ignorance.
I am messy.
I am unclean.
I am damaged.
I am fractured, but I will no longer be ashamed. I wear my scars with pride and I will never again be the person in the mirror who conks their locks and who cries because they are not Snow White.
Take your anti-frizz, take your flat irons, take your white agenda and leave me the fuck alone.
NO, I am not anti-white, but HELL YES I am pro-black. I am the queer with their fist raised out of black love, and out of black pride.
Thank you Maya.
Thank you Marcus.
Thank you Angela.
Thank you Sejourner.
Thank you Huey.
Thank you Martin.
And thank you Malcolm.
I write this for those who like me, spent 3 hours flattening every bump, every kink and every shred of their dignity to subscribe to a facade. I will no longer shut my mouth.
Embracing my blackness, gave me courage that you (yes, you...WHITE PEOPLE) can never take away from me.
Hands up. Fists raised. I am power.

Fear me / Fear me/ I am the fucking devil
I have come to do the devil's work
Fear me / Fear me / I am the fucking devil
They called me beautiful
as if that was all I aspired to be
I am the raging sea
I am the mountains
I am the fucking dead
I am everything he tried and failed to take away from me
I am the raging sea
I am the mountains
Don't go away from me
I've got a ticket with your fucking name
Fear me / Fear me / I am the fucking devil
I have come to do the devil's work
Fear me / Fear me

I spent too long carrying the demons in my throat
so others could breathe
Set me on fire
so I can burn myself into your memory
My depression is dressed in silence
and I suffer along with it
Set me on fire
so I can burn myself into your memory

Starting Over

All I can see is black and white
My crippling depression has taken my sight
I am unable to see the colours that exist
They live in my head and will be sorely missed
Starting over in black and white
everything is a lot more real
The mistakes, the tiny moments
I'm learning how to heal
Take it for what it is
I'm sorry this isn't art
but I need to start off blank again
before I can add the gift of vibrancy
Masterpieces sometimes take decades and infinities
I'm okay with waiting
Starting over in black and white
everything is a lot more real
The mistakes, the tiny moments
I'm learning how to heal

No Sinners

Forget what you think that you may know
Oh please, forget me
Feel yourself sinking, oh so slow
No, please don't let me
I am the danger down in the basement
God can't save you now
No sinners
God can't save you now
No sinners
I am the danger down in the basement
I hate you but I hate myself more
I hate you but I hate myself more
The freaks come out at night
I am the danger down in the basement
God can't save you now
No sinners

I am healing by mistake,
my bones are built on ruin.
I immortalize you.
i immortalize you, on paper.
I frame our memories with words.
Your love consumed me,
but when you left you made it known.

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou
supported by 21 fans who also own “Vagina Witchcraft”
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately.
