First single off MINIMA's forthcoming album, WE WERE NEVER MODERN

THE SWORD ITSELF INCITES TO VIOLENCE

Records rouse a spinning
Books beckon a reading
TV turns me miming
Clocks will keep me timing
Gats trigger a shooting
Batons bring a beating
News baits ever clicking
Needles nudge a pricking

Cameras cause a capture
Phones ring in a rapture
Ads arouse a purchase
Prayer prompts by churches
Techne taunts a dancing
Sirens goad a lancing
Bombs ignite a dropping
Bubbles burst a popping

The sword it incites in me, a violence, an actioning

While always there’s a willing
It’s molded by the waying
The means will mean the ending
It’s part of the intending

The sword it incites in me, a violence, it’s happening
