Name: keep the faith
Duration: P00H05M45S
Description: A song about trying to stay optimistic even when shit looks really bleak. The universe of complexity contained within all of us is the biggest threat to these fascistic systems of oppression. If you try to contain all this entropy, the energy contained within that box will explode eventually. We just have to keep resisting until they can't hold us back anymore.

A song about trying to stay optimistic even when shit looks really bleak. The universe of complexity contained within all of us is the biggest threat to these fascistic systems of oppression.

lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't put a price on me
I am infinity
Fractals unfold within me
My love expands endlessly

I have to pay for serotonin
'Cause I struggle holding hope
Inside this world where my plans can just slip out of my hands

I know you feel
Disempowered, disenchanted
But don't take this beauty here for granted
You've gotta trust me
I know first-hand

[Chorus]

That it's hard
To believe
In yourself
When the world doesn't believe you exist

You're just a number with some feelings
Line some pockets or they'll keep being dismissed

But I believe things can change
Entropy's hard to contain
And this world is way too strange
To be boxed in and explained

When it gets tough
I tell myself keep the faith
I tell myself keep the faith
I tell myself keep the faith
I tell myself keep the faith
Just keep your faith

[Verse 2]

When the sky is filled with smoke
And when that necktie makes you choke
Or when your hormones get denied
Or when that copay's way too high

Or when your need for home and health and sense of self is monetized
It isn't easy here to stabilize

[Chorus]

It's way too hard
To believe
In yourself
When the world doesn't believe you exist

You're just a number with some feelings
Line some pockets or they'll keep being dismissed

But I believe things can change
Entropy's hard to contain
And this world is way too strange
To be boxed in and explained

When it gets tough
I tell myself keep the faith
I tell myself keep the faith
I tell myself keep the faith
I tell myself keep the faith
Just keep your faith

[Bridge]

Someday the government will get what it has coming
Corporate vampires will be forced to see the sun
And they'll feed the worms
They'll grow some trees
Air in our lungs
Jumping in leaves
Smiles on our faces

[Chorus]

But right now I get that it's hard
To believe
In yourself
When the world doesn't believe you exist

You're just a number with some feelings
Line some pockets or they'll keep being dismissed

I still believe that things can change
Entropy's hard to contain
And this world is way too strange
To be boxed in and explained

Just tell yourself
Keep the faith
I tell myself keep the faith
I tell myself keep the faith
I tell myself keep the faith
Keep the faith
Just keep your faith

I'm Wren (she/her). I write weird pop music for trans girls to cathartically cry to. If others get something from my music, that's awesome too. :)

If you like my music for trans girls to cathartically cry to, you'll like Hannah's music for trans girls to cathartically cry to as well I think. <3 Wren Dove Lark

This is one of the best albums of all time, and it's criminally underrated. Aesha has a knack for indie rock songwriting with transcendental production. Wren Dove Lark

Alex co-produced one of my albums with me a while back, and we've got some tracks that we've made recently we hope to release soon. His solo music is really wild and cool! Give it a listen! Wren Dove Lark
