Is this something to learn from? To make healing easier
If you don't look behind you, pretend nothing has happened.
what can we go on – can we grow on?
Change of environment, and you cut yourself from the stem.
I guess nothing can hurt you now

Cover up, There's no one you can trust
don't leave the home, don't go outside alone
be prepared for things out of your control
the system automates the blame, there is no safer place to go
How were we supposed to know?
Where were we supposed to go?
How far have we come, if NO can't be heard?
What is this response, when it just reoccurs
Cover up, this is covering up our voices cannot be heard in
a culture that supports a system that purports disgust
and gives the benefit of doubt, and mistrusts
those who speak up for themselves, and says I told you so
how were we supposed to know?
these problems aren't just mine, they're ours
what is this response, that makes it hurt worse
we need a safer space, to know we've been heard
(to know we've been hurt)

untangle // no flag

No flag to soak the blood
no flag to hide the shame
committed in our name
to warm the feet, to heat the home
There is no flag big enough to hide behind
somewhere between information and education - learning got lost. did history happen or did we pretend? how are we taught national pride when there's no esteem to be found
there is no flag
we still sing an anthem. with words that we don't know. we still align to a monarchy,but we scoff at the throne. who are we to instil national pride when we can't even talk about our faults.
there is no flag

we have to live with this
doesn't mean, we can't tear the world apart
there will be an end to it
we can work against what works us
if we build it – they will come
doesn't mean that to smile is not to grieve
these things are born from dreams
open your eyes wide awake
I can't sleep it off, cos I'm wide awake
we can stand up to this
though its tough, it's not perishable
look at your hands, what can they do to help
what can your hands make from this mess
we can, tear it apart
Got to see it off, I can't sleep it off
cos I'm wide awake
