[Verse 1]
Eb7
Passing jacaranda trees
C#7
I am lucky for the things that I get to unsee
Eb7 C#7 Eb7
reality is heavy and loud and rustles angry crowds of colors that all breathe in sync
C#7
but white has the privilege of washing machines
C7
to wash out the stains from their comfortable jeans
wiping the blood off their hands to their thighs
C#7
wearing the blood of the people who’ve died
[Chorus]
F Eb Db C
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
F Eb Db C
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
F Eb Db C
they are liars, shrinking history in driers, teaching whiter in school
F Eb Db C
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
[Verse 2]
C#7
The seasons change
Eb7 C#7
And the violets disappear
Eb7
Revealing the violence that’s always been here
C#7 Eb7
I fear the force of the forest
C#7
Without us they still flourish
Eb7
In a world of non conformists
[Chorus]
F Eb Db C
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
F Eb Db C
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
F Eb Db C
they’re all liars, we’re on fire, trees remind us they’ve rewired the news
F Eb Db C
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
CODA
F7
and the purple trees just wanna be free
Eb7
bursting through the concrete
C#7
I am small but significant,
C7
the world is pretty when we
C7 Eb7 C#7 F7
And plant jacaranda trees
