[Verse 1]
D7
Passing jacaranda trees
C7
I am lucky for the things that I get to unsee
D7 C7 D7
reality is heavy and loud and rustles angry crowds of colors that all breathe in sync
C7
but white has the privilege of washing machines
B7
to wash out the stains from their comfortable jeans
wiping the blood off their hands to their thighs
C7
wearing the blood of the people who’ve died
[Chorus]
Fb D C B
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
Fb D C B
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
Fb D C B
they are liars, shrinking history in driers, teaching whiter in school
Fb D C B
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
[Verse 2]
C7
The seasons change
D7 C7
And the violets disappear
D7
Revealing the violence that’s always been here
C7 D7
I fear the force of the forest
C7
Without us they still flourish
D7
In a world of non conformists
[Chorus]
Fb D C B
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
Fb D C B
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
Fb D C B
they’re all liars, we’re on fire, trees remind us they’ve rewired the news
Fb D C B
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
CODA
Fb7
and the purple trees just wanna be free
D7
bursting through the concrete
C7
I am small but significant,
B7
the world is pretty when we
B7 D7 C7 Fb7
And plant jacaranda trees
