Native Blood |
| The barren wastes bearing down on me |
| Cracks in the clouds leave me wondering |
| Did the oceans dry out, return to the sky |
| For a privileged perspective of our final goodbye? |
| Pretend it’s a house of peace while she’s buried underneath |
| You built your father’s house over my mother’s grave |
| Bodies, a mass grave collapse the concave floor |
| These sanctimonious steeples will meet us in the dirt |
| Because the earth is trembling, if only we had eyes to see it shake |
| Ignorant until we expire |
| When the ocean fills our veins and the soil becomes my bones |
| Maybe we’ll fall asleep tonight |
| To the madness in the melody poured out for slaves |
| We were dressed in potential, now we’re draped in sorrow |
| Our race is a bloodstain spattered on a profane political campaign |
| Manifest your destiny |
| Stripes and stars comprise my prison bars |
| The cost of liberty |
| Maybe we’ll fall asleep tonight |
| To the madness in the melody poured out for slaves |
| Maybe this storm is a perfect score |
| For wretched bodies washed ashore, poured out for me |
| The life I loved looking up at me |
| Saplings struck like daggers hemorrhaging streams |
| As the breath of my people return to the ground |
| So forests can once more abound |
| The suffering cross that overcame |
| The name of love made concurrent with shame |
| This melody, I thought it familiar |
| It sounds like your heartbeat keeping time |
| Then you turn and remind me that this pain has a purpose |
| And maybe we’ll fall asleep tonight |
