lyrics

Force my hands
Onto the grip
To swing the hammer
To callous finger tips
My aching back
And sunburned skin
And fractured wrist
Chained to my kin

This is our life now
This is how it is
When the hope has run dry
And the shackles are too tight
It's not so bad
When you come to understand
You'll never get to do
Anything you wanted to

Tear off this arm
Disconnected
From the torso
It still tries to grasp
Are these eyes
I see in the mirror
Are they mine?
Will I tear them out in terror?

This is our life now
This is how it is
When the hope has run dry
And the shackles are too tight
It's not so bad
When you come to understand
You'll never get to do
Anything you wanted to

We're gonna celebrate you
We need a little slack
All that you'll notice when through
Is how much left there is to do
You'll have to make up time lost
From pain and breaking back
We don't know what our lives cost
We might be slaves but we eat for free

about

ifandonlyif Phoenix, Arizona

ifandonlyif has been producing music since 2017 with their first EP "Alina". Their provoking, eclectic modalities encapsulate electronic music at it's darkest, and suggests hints of techno, synthpop, IDM, and industrial. Their use of analog synthesizers, vocals, and guitar, provides a unique multi-instrumental live experience unlike anything seen yet in Phoenix, AZ.
