lyrics

This colonial mindset is feeding my warped perception
of seeing everything as either threat or potential possession
there is no neutrality here

Let me hear love's language in the midst of this
let me not twist this hearing away; otherwise
everything will sound with only the petty, shrill clamour of my own cravings and fears

My worth is tied to this
How is my name spoken? How is my name heard?
Let me hear love's language
In the midst of this; in the midst of this

It's time I move beyond myself
and I believe there is a dying and rising that speaks to this
If I give up my rights and step into a new paradigm
that reorients conformity
