[Leanne Betasamosake Simpson - Break-Up lyrics]
I step over watery edges
He pulls the canoe across the ice
She paddles to the edge to collect candles
For her old ones to melt and then drink
You shoot ducks while it’s still easy
They gather at the edge thinking
They gather in the sky rethinking
They swim towards light thinking otherwise
Sun hit's you from above
You melt from the inside out
Faint ice as membrane
Sprеads sound across skin
I step over watery еdges
He pulls the canoe across the ice
Aabawe the first warmth of spring
Aabawe a loosening of the mind to forgive
They gather at the edge thinking
They gather in the sky rethinking
They swim towards light thinking otherwise
They gather at the edge thinking
They gather in the sky rethinking
They swim towards light thinking otherwise
We gathered in the winter lodge
Formed from earth and ice
We slowed prayed sang dreamt
Earth below world above
Waiting things out but together
The upper parts are exiled to the bottom
The lower parts deported to the surface
There is euphoric rising and falling
Orbit's of dispossession and reattachment
Achieving maximum density:
39 degrees fahrenheit
You relax at the surface
Spread apart cooler holding warmer
Regular repeated ordered locked
Lake as one mind
They gather at the edge thinking
They gather in the sky rethinking
They swim towards light thinking otherwise
They gather at the edge thinking
They gather in the sky rethinking
They swim towards light
He pulls the canoe across the ice
She paddles to the edge to collect candles
For her old ones to melt and then drink
You shoot ducks while it’s still easy
They gather at the edge thinking
They gather in the sky rethinking
They swim towards light thinking otherwise
Sun hit's you from above
You melt from the inside out
Faint ice as membrane
Sprеads sound across skin
I step over watery еdges
He pulls the canoe across the ice
Aabawe the first warmth of spring
Aabawe a loosening of the mind to forgive
They gather at the edge thinking
They gather in the sky rethinking
They swim towards light thinking otherwise
They gather at the edge thinking
They gather in the sky rethinking
They swim towards light thinking otherwise
We gathered in the winter lodge
Formed from earth and ice
We slowed prayed sang dreamt
Earth below world above
Waiting things out but together
The upper parts are exiled to the bottom
The lower parts deported to the surface
There is euphoric rising and falling
Orbit's of dispossession and reattachment
Achieving maximum density:
39 degrees fahrenheit
You relax at the surface
Spread apart cooler holding warmer
Regular repeated ordered locked
Lake as one mind
They gather at the edge thinking
They gather in the sky rethinking
They swim towards light thinking otherwise
They gather at the edge thinking
They gather in the sky rethinking
They swim towards light
