[Verse 1]
A#7
Passing jacaranda trees
G#7
I am lucky for the things that I get to unsee
A#7 G#7 A#7
reality is heavy and loud and rustles angry crowds of colors that all breathe in sync
G#7
but white has the privilege of washing machines
G7
to wash out the stains from their comfortable jeans
wiping the blood off their hands to their thighs
G#7
wearing the blood of the people who’ve died
[Chorus]
C A# Ab G
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
C A# Ab G
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
C A# Ab G
they are liars, shrinking history in driers, teaching whiter in school
C A# Ab G
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
[Verse 2]
G#7
The seasons change
A#7 G#7
And the violets disappear
A#7
Revealing the violence that’s always been here
G#7 A#7
I fear the force of the forest
G#7
Without us they still flourish
A#7
In a world of non conformists
[Chorus]
C A# Ab G
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
C A# Ab G
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
C A# Ab G
they’re all liars, we’re on fire, trees remind us they’ve rewired the news
C A# Ab G
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
CODA
C7
and the purple trees just wanna be free
A#7
bursting through the concrete
G#7
I am small but significant,
G7
the world is pretty when we
G7 A#7 G#7 C7
And plant jacaranda trees
