alicia blue - blackbird lyrics

we were talking in a cafe
about how our father’s father’s
smashed it down to keep it cool
forced to choose between two poisons
spewing heat or keeping cool
how long do we keep cool

till we sing from the boughs
and we sing from the trees
sing blackbird babe
from the red in your wings
though our song it is sweet
do you hear the alarm underneath

i search the violence in my voice
disguised as power making noise
will you listen
if i don’t scream
i search for something more concrete
than pride disguising apathy
if i whisper
is it lost at the seams

so sing honey babe
oh lets’ sing from the trees
sing blackbird babe
from the red in your wings
though our song it is sweet
do you hear the alarm underneath
though our song it is sweet
do you hear the alarm underneath
planted in the dead of night
growing crooked from no light
your simple sin was poverty
next came shame and jealousy
hand me downs you’d never see
come meet me babe
i’ve no shame in my eyes for you

till we sing from the boughs
and we sing from the trees
sing blackbird babe
from the red in your wings
though our song it is sweet
do you hear the alarm underneath
