Memory of sin broken wings trapped her in 
Heart a broken tin opening to no one since  

Everythin' she been playing back can't forget 
Everythin' she did playing back so she give

Feeling weak from the pain and the grief 
No release - need a home and a dream, she
Break free - just to find her some peace 
Cuz a piece she can plant in the earth like seed, see

That it grows from her roots to a tree 
She can see destiny in the stars when she dream
Permanent - the grief make her weak
Still, she need to believe that it won't just repeat

Haunted by the cost, everything she lost
What is gone will live on thru rememory a song 

Hidden in the text
Vision of her next moves
Memories a chain
Pain we attach to 

Birds in the cage - forms fly away 
Cuz we not free from the memories 
Birds in the cage - forms fly away 
Cuz we not free from the memories 

Resenting us because we won't remember how they want it 
Now they twist our stories up, sell 'em all for a profit 
Claim to speak, cross divides 
When they only telling lies 
So we try, so we lie fighting til we die

Frozen yeah we closing all the doors to the past 
Broken don't look back - we feel that we can't 
Spirit so suppressed - so we laugh, cry, sing, die 
Negligent of history 
Living it reciprocally we cycling revisiting (the pain)

Born of the strain to reclaim all this lost hope 
Memories of pain
Fear keep the eyes woke
Staying in this plane, no escape through the grave though
Boys run away to be free but the chains choke
So hard to speak when you feel like you're see-through 
We need to
Claim a space where you stay and you pray that they see you 

Birds in the cage - forms fly away 
Cuz we not free from our memories
Birds in the cage - forms fly away 
Cuz we not free from our memories 

Sweet home, deep wound, still her feet move
Play host, young ghost, til her will broke 
Acorn, reborn in her child no
Brother claims it ain't safe so they both go  

Memories of loss, weigh a lot on a black soul 
No surprise that we mine all this pure gold
Years of hatred yet, folks don't really wanna face it 
But reparation must be paid in more than empty statement

They ask me why we out here
Saying that we matter
"You're stealing all our stories
We noticing a pattern
It has to be the masses" 
Ain't nowhere to go until sharing in our sadness, stagnant 

Til' my death is just as tragic 
Our girls just as magic to you 
It doesn't matter what they do 
The truth in our sorrow is the view 
And the memories are too 

Come to back the place where it used be 
What was gone lives in rememory

Baby boy's been gone, she forget they face
Come back to the grave with her baby name 

In a house like this one, words carry weight
They can obscure or reveal the truth
And hide or protect the week 
I am not alive nor dead nor gray nor anything absolute 
Nor anything absolute but I am black
That may mean gamma ray or brown or turd 
Is another word that may mean brown in this intestinal trap
Brown may mean Negro
Negro may mean nothing
I am in the middle of delusion
I am in the way of nothing
But I am in the way
