Recorded at 25th Street Recording in Oakland, CA

lyrics

You won’t recognize me
I’m an absence of color
I take up space
I erase others
Tools I learned to use and hide
In old wounds
When there was nothing left to find
I found truth
So you won’t recognize me
No, you won’t recognize me
When I bloom....

All the light inside of me
Are refractions of color
I change like waves
I sing like the warbler
All my burdens built from lies
And redlines
Used as promises of white
Sand shorelines
But you can’t colonize a dream
So, you can’t colonize me
When I bloom...

We are made of estuaries
Our delta mouths turned riverine
We set our hearts to sail downstream
Filled up with salt and then with seed
But on my hands there will always be blood
Mixed up with shame
Mixed up with mud
It’s all held under my skin
I can’t wash away
Its where the remedy lives....

I’m not as fragile as I seem
I won’t take cover
I am the other
There's no hate left in me when I
When I bloom....

We are made of estuaries
Our delta mouths become riverine
We sent our hearts to sail the seas
Filled up with salt and then with seed
But on my hands there will always be blood
Mixed in with pain
Mixed in with love
It’s all trapped under my skin
I can’t wash it away
