Maine (i/ˈmeɪn/) is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and south, New Hampshire to the west, and the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the northwest and New Brunswick to the northeast. Maine is both the northernmost and easternmost portion of New England. It is known for its scenery—its jagged, mostly rocky coastline, its low, rolling mountains, its heavily forested interior and picturesque waterways—as well as for its seafood cuisine, especially lobsters and clams.
For thousands of years, indigenous peoples were the only inhabitants of the territory that is now Maine. At the time of European encounter, several Algonquian-speaking peoples inhabited the area. The first European settlement in Maine was by the French in 1604 on Saint Croix Island, by Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons. The first English settlement in Maine, the short-lived Popham Colony, was established by the Plymouth Company in 1607. A number of English settlements were established along the coast of Maine in the 1620s, although the rugged climate, deprivations, and conflict with the local peoples caused many to fail over the years. As Maine entered the 18th century, only a half dozen European settlements survived. Patriot and British forces contended for Maine's territory during the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Maine was part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts until 1820, when it voted to secede from Massachusetts. On March 15, 1820, it was admitted to the Union as the 23rd state under the Missouri Compromise. Maine is the 39th most extensive and the 41st most populous of the 50 United States.
Lives dismantled
Piece by piece
shout!
Before our eyes
Powers disguise the truth
while we decline
We are useful idiots
and every time we think it's gonna change they're fuckin with us
Disaster makes them grip
Much harder round our necks
Discontent is all around
Having lost all physical and mental qualities I'm not considered to be normal or desirable I will degenerate back to a mindless fuck like a decaying human parasite Life's suicide
Why have all of our rights been violent in their deaths ?
Why are we are so benign and motionless on request ?
Oh when did they cease to protect individual rights forever we need They're breaking us up from inside
They start by erasing our memories to claim riches like spinal sinews tearing. Old cultures replaced.
Invent new history we forget what really was, in the struggle of man against power man will fall every time
Why have all of our rights been violent in their deaths ?
Why are we are so benign and motionless on request ?
Oh when did they cease to protect individual rights forever we need.
They're breaking us up from inside.
This is the day, this is the day we all die.
This is the day, this is the day we all.
This is the day, this is the day we all die.
This is the day, we leave this sick world behind.
