[Verse 1]
F7
Passing jacaranda trees
D#7
I am lucky for the things that I get to unsee
F7 D#7 F7
reality is heavy and loud and rustles angry crowds of colors that all breathe in sync
D#7
but white has the privilege of washing machines
D7
to wash out the stains from their comfortable jeans
wiping the blood off their hands to their thighs
D#7
wearing the blood of the people who’ve died
[Chorus]
G F Eb D
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
G F Eb D
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
G F Eb D
they are liars, shrinking history in driers, teaching whiter in school
G F Eb D
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
[Verse 2]
D#7
The seasons change
F7 D#7
And the violets disappear
F7
Revealing the violence that’s always been here
D#7 F7
I fear the force of the forest
D#7
Without us they still flourish
F7
In a world of non conformists
[Chorus]
G F Eb D
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
G F Eb D
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
G F Eb D
they’re all liars, we’re on fire, trees remind us they’ve rewired the news
G F Eb D
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
CODA
G7
and the purple trees just wanna be free
F7
bursting through the concrete
D#7
I am small but significant,
D7
the world is pretty when we
D7 F7 D#7 G7
And plant jacaranda trees
