[Verse 1]
Db7
Passing jacaranda trees
B7
I am lucky for the things that I get to unsee
Db7 B7 Db7
reality is heavy and loud and rustles angry crowds of colors that all breathe in sync
B7
but white has the privilege of washing machines
A#7
to wash out the stains from their comfortable jeans
wiping the blood off their hands to their thighs
B7
wearing the blood of the people who’ve died
[Chorus]
Eb Db Cb A#
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
Eb Db Cb A#
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
Eb Db Cb A#
they are liars, shrinking history in driers, teaching whiter in school
Eb Db Cb A#
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
[Verse 2]
B7
The seasons change
Db7 B7
And the violets disappear
Db7
Revealing the violence that’s always been here
B7 Db7
I fear the force of the forest
B7
Without us they still flourish
Db7
In a world of non conformists
[Chorus]
Eb Db Cb A#
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
Eb Db Cb A#
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
Eb Db Cb A#
they’re all liars, we’re on fire, trees remind us they’ve rewired the news
Eb Db Cb A#
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
CODA
Eb7
and the purple trees just wanna be free
Db7
bursting through the concrete
B7
I am small but significant,
A#7
the world is pretty when we
A#7 Db7 B7 Eb7
And plant jacaranda trees
