[Leanne Betasamosake Simpson - The Wake lyrics]
Hello, my friend i’ve come to see you again
Everything we tried
To grow this year has died
You’ve tripped inside my head
Numb calm, dulled light, cold red
Wearing just the lake diminished in the wake
Inside a commune of night
There’s no way to make this right
Acorns and fallen stars
A child that wasn’t ours
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
And shattered skies
Injured certified
I wish I’d held you when you died
You’ve tripped inside my head
Numb calm, dulled light, cold red
Acorns and fallen stars
A child that wasn’t ours
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
And shattered skies
Everything we tried
To grow this year has died
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
And shattered skies
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
Everything we tried
To grow this year has died
You’ve tripped inside my head
Numb calm, dulled light, cold red
Wearing just the lake diminished in the wake
Inside a commune of night
There’s no way to make this right
Acorns and fallen stars
A child that wasn’t ours
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
And shattered skies
Injured certified
I wish I’d held you when you died
You’ve tripped inside my head
Numb calm, dulled light, cold red
Acorns and fallen stars
A child that wasn’t ours
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
And shattered skies
Everything we tried
To grow this year has died
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
And shattered skies
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
Ashes in my eyes crushed fires
