about

Suddenly the violence of white supremacy and information silos sit very close to me.

lyrics

It’s so sad. We don’t understand each other yet.
How can this be when we’ve been living together so long? 
So close to each other’s beauty?
It’s so sad. It makes me feel so bad.
I can’t stand by anymore.
Gonna sing about it

Gonna sing it when I feel like cryin’. 
When I’m uncomfortable & don’t know why yet.
When I am guilty of the laissez-faire 
– my ignorance of you laid bare
I’ll talk to you before I raise my hand, 
so you can call on me to make a stand.

Am I responsible? Are you responsible?
What are we responsible for?

I’m gonna look up from my own concerns
- reach across the chasm of what I’ve never learned.
So wide, so full of burning–your eyes are turning to me now,
saying ‘It’s time-it’s way past time-to step outside the echo
echo echo echo… chamber.’
Stop pretending it’s alright,
stop pretending this is not our fight.
Am I responsible? Are you responsible?
What are we responsible for?

Gonna sing about it.
