there's a base in my brain ...
i stand there stunned, my bones remain encased.
and there's a feather in my speech ...
been coughing loud, but the walls keep giving me their backs.
they're the walls on the outside.
they're the walls on the inside.
he put holes in her cheek,
locked her out on the fire escape.
he put holes in her head -
beat her thighs with the metal bar he got from the door.
that's the door that locked her outside,
i called the cops.
that's the door that locked me inside,
i cried for help.
to escape would feel so nice ...
where to go?
to erase him from our lives ...
i call the people of the peace, the police -
to tear him to pieces for what he's done.
i call the people of the peace, the police -
to tear him to pieces for what he's done.
i call the people of the peace, the police -
to tear him to pieces for what he's done.

and so i tried to find a way,
consumed by pride and desperate faith.
the memories formed while seasons changed,
were meant to push you toward erase.
but i could break every pain, when i prayed for bitter days
to soak in flowers toward a savory taste - this flavor devoured was by daily escape
you were the one who made me strong - abused my mind till callus formed.
you hated loud, you hated long - the hours crept through crying storms.
through all the blood and all the brains that stained the carpet and the sheets...
you hurt her soul and so we stayed - in damaged places i remained.

i just feel like, theres a world like - i can be like them.
there's a world like - i can be like them.

i'd like to know ...
where did they go from here?
i don't know that i can show that, i can be that way
i don't know that i can show that, i can be that way
where can we go?
i'd like to know ...
where can we go from here?

i was born from the womb of a wounded child
who was enlisted to be prophet of the harlem mob
but she was hiding low in the wild downtown
making drinks for people in the village crowd … it was so loud
its the way we flex our lungs, she said
its what we do with our tongues -
throwing stones at the sun in hopes it will shatter
i was saved by a man who was watching me cry
across the room in a cabin filled with liars and wives.
he pulled me aside and said to write down; all the fears in my head - the pain poured out. it was so loud.
its the way we flex our lungs, he said
its what we do with our tongues -
throwing stones at the sun in hopes it will shatter
its the way we flex our lungs, he said
its what we do with our tongues -
throwing stones at the sun in hopes it will shatter
if you’re there with the child or you’re there all alone,
and you're scared late at night; with pain in your bones...
being abused and being let down,
trying to be heard in a world so loud …. you don't have to shout
have no fear - there is help on the other side.
you’ll find the way, baby
no more tears.
make your way to the other side; where its safe - go escape.
(if you ever feel alone my love, and you forget why you sing songs … pick up a stone)
his fists and money wont hold us down
