[Verse 1]
Gb7
Passing jacaranda trees
E7
I am lucky for the things that I get to unsee
Gb7 E7 Gb7
reality is heavy and loud and rustles angry crowds of colors that all breathe in sync
E7
but white has the privilege of washing machines
D#7
to wash out the stains from their comfortable jeans
wiping the blood off their hands to their thighs
E7
wearing the blood of the people who’ve died
[Chorus]
Ab Gb Fb D#
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
Ab Gb Fb D#
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
Ab Gb Fb D#
they are liars, shrinking history in driers, teaching whiter in school
Ab Gb Fb D#
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
[Verse 2]
E7
The seasons change
Gb7 E7
And the violets disappear
Gb7
Revealing the violence that’s always been here
E7 Gb7
I fear the force of the forest
E7
Without us they still flourish
Gb7
In a world of non conformists
[Chorus]
Ab Gb Fb D#
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
Ab Gb Fb D#
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
Ab Gb Fb D#
they’re all liars, we’re on fire, trees remind us they’ve rewired the news
Ab Gb Fb D#
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
CODA
Ab7
and the purple trees just wanna be free
Gb7
bursting through the concrete
E7
I am small but significant,
D#7
the world is pretty when we
D#7 Gb7 E7 Ab7
And plant jacaranda trees
