They call you cowards for fleeing from your homes. They say that you should fight, you should defend your families. Well they seem so brave, they have everything and they risk nothing : they have such a short memory. They consider normal to work in Switzerland, to have their kids taught in Canada... After all, isn't the grass always greener? When you're white! What they don't realize is you didn't choose any of this. What they don't realize is our country is the root of a lot of your problems. Hypocrisy. Selective memory. Racist, selfish empire. How can they say it's over when we regulate the economy of fourteen former colonies? When we have our armies based all around them? And what about our overseas departments and territories? I guess we'll never know, the oceans are too broad. Hypocrisy.

They 'protect and serve', is this what you really think? That they protect and serve the people, the poor. Why do they bear so many deadly weapons? If they protect and serve then why do I fear for the lives of my friends? They only protect the rich and the powerful. They only serve the white and the privileged. They have every right over you, prison or death, it's for them to choose. Whatever you say, whatever your proof, their voice always weighs more than you do. Wherever they are you're never safe. Whatever they do, don't talk to them. They will look like you sometimes, but trust me, their weapons are different. They will appear nice sometimes but whatever you say they will use it against you. Wherever they are, you're never safe. Whatever they do, don't talk to them. They will lie and they will try to convince you in every way and they'll do it through fear and violence. Wherever they are, you're never safe. Whatever they do, don't talk to them

I wanna be part of a scene that'd be the extent of our lives, or our hopes and dreams. A scene without any fear or shame. I wanna be part of a scheme that would include everyone. I won't tolerate intolerance anymore. We're not here to sell. We're not here to show off. We are here to share and together we can make the world a better place. We can do it. Solidarity is our best answer, our best weapon. Life will be easier if you've got my back and I've got yours. We are here to love, we know too much how to hate. We are here to love because we know too much how to hate. And I love you because we hate the same things. We are all that we have. Together we can make the world fall apart.

Because they hate me I will love myself even more. I will take what they see as a weakness and I will make it my bigger strength. I will aim for none of their standards I will claim that I'm proud of my differences. Beauty should be defined as who we are otherwise the concept becomes our enemy. When it tries to make you fit, then it's your enemy. It is the same with gender or sexuality. No one should define who we are but ourselves. Society will not give up until I give in and I'm not gonna make it that easy for them. I'll love myself even more.

Right when you cut you feel alive. The blade always goes too deep or too shallow. Closer to death or closer to life? Always in between, you wish you would know. When everything is made to make you feel bad (you're) just looking for a meaning. You wonder 'is there anything?' Something to look forward to, not so far from reach? Still it's the same feelings : out of step, ill at ease cause the traumas of the past echo too much in the void of today. And then they see the scars, they stare at the scars. They will never understand, you know they will never even try. You try to hide them but you wanna show them. You wanna show them their responsibility. Because here it is fit in or die and they will name you a coward if you give up after they kicked you down. After they ripped your guts out. After they fed you to the sharks. You are not alone in this. You are not the only one. Right when you cut you feel alive. The blade always goes too deep or too shallow. Closer to death or closer to life? Always in between, you wish you would know. This time it will be different. I swear to you it will be different. You are not alone, we're in this together. You will never be alone again.

It feels like an endless struggle, the kind we can never win. We'd just need to close our eyes to embrace the warmth of happiness. We can't switch off our minds and we've always loved setting things on fire. It is easy to feel desperate, as if we were the only ones resisting, the only ones who seem to care. That's how it's supposed to be. I don't blame you : they're clever and they make the system work. But as long as we keep on fighting, we'll never lose. Yes, there are gods and masters. There are races and classes. There are genders and the heterosexual patriarchy. Yes, there is food yet people starve. There are slaves, there are colonies, there are states, there are borders surrounded by troops and guns and tanks. But as long as we keep on fighting, we'll never lose. I wanna hope for a better future, not just for me. I wanna fight for love and compassion. No one is free until every cage is empty.

about

Canine Marseille, France

Canine is a mix of screamo and post hardcore with a bit of post rock parts.
We try to make our live appearences as inclusive as possible as we like 'DO IT TOGETHER' way better than 'DO IT YOURSELF'.
We play our sets with rage and sing the end of all oppressions with passion.
