This one's for the boy with a split down the middle
This one's for the kid with her hand in fire
You laughed at rind when they thought the bite was bitter
When you cried about the wolves they called you a liar
This one's for the first girl I kissed in the mirror
This one's for the tear in her shiny glass eye
She said we looked lonely and I knew I should fear her
My hand came back bloody when I reached for her thigh
This one’s for the day that we know will deliver
This one's for the love we no longer hide
History excludes every night’s revolution
But our tale is told by moon and the tide
This one's for the womb so much older than angels
This one's for the babe dropped in the sea
The milkyway breastfed me on constellations
I drank it all in and gave it away for free

Give me shortness of breath
Verge of precipice
Getting undressed
I’m buried in the witness
To see through blindfold
Restrain the threshold
Train me controlled
Do as you’re sold
Suspended animation
Obey delay me
Stop motion plaything
I'm tangled in your strings
Surprises spit into our eyes
Forfeit my fucking rights
An urge unto the wind
What the fuck is this
Articulate me
I fold
I am origami
I fold fold fold

Birth (2021)

Mommy can I go out an kill tonight
Mother should I run for president
Mama, o o o o I didn’t mean to make you cry
But when you’re good to mama, mama’s good to you
Patriotic ruin
Our amniotic fluid
Apocalyptic transit
The birth of a nationless planet
We fall from grace
And rise the tide
The devil’s face
No longer hides
The climate’s pace
A graphic climb
We slip thru space
And out we slide
Accelerate
And choose your side
This human’s race
Is born to die
Borderline case
Of border wall lies
Diagnose me disgraced
And infantilized

Ive been Drifting
Outside the sum of
My zeros and ones
Zero one
Xoxo hex oh
Binary is not what next oh
Xoxo hex oh
Genders dead just have good sex
Me my self
an eye for an eye
The pictures say that
love is blind
Framed and hung
like fame and lies
I circled when
you crossed
my mind

The smell of exploitation
Is always so in fashion
New car shower curtain
Sport shoe junior kitchen
Breath in breath in
The pheromones of credit
Breath in breath in
The scent of obsolescence
Wearing smells from factories
My placement in the Ponzi scheme
The pyramid of trash ennui
I’m fuming in the middle seat
My package smells like slavery
My package reeks of the weak
My package fumes from such abuse
Proves to me I’m sweet perfume
I pass you on the escalator
Diffusing chemical equations
Up up up in a cloud of fragrance
High on sweatshop body base blends

Meltdown
bite down the taste of ice
Meltdown
to hear the sound of cold
Heatseek
missiles do behold the way that
Life is
just masterbational so
Unload
currency of quantum throes
Up through
cracks in cement flows
Bramble vines
of wild rose
Arise alive
you’re not alone
Arise alive
you’re not alone
You’re everything
you’ll never know

Let me make you comfortable
Let me break the news
I broke my tooth
To break the news
Break the news
Can hear the boots
Here come the troops
Two by two
It’s me against you
But let me make you comfortable at midnight
Let me make you comfortable defused
Let me make you comfortable in gallows
Let me break the news
Show me how you treat the ones who tell you
Show me where you keep the one who knows
How did we get so
Comfortable
I broke my tooth
To break the truth

Xibling Portland, Oregon
[pronounced: sĭbʹ-lĭng]
Synthpunk from Portland, Oregon
"Rather than rehashing ideas already
explored, Xibling assembles their music from the core components that made eclectic synth music exciting during the 80s, while diving headlong into the 21st-century avant-garde."

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
