[Verse 1]
C7
Passing jacaranda trees
A#7
I am lucky for the things that I get to unsee
C7 A#7 C7
reality is heavy and loud and rustles angry crowds of colors that all breathe in sync
A#7
but white has the privilege of washing machines
A7
to wash out the stains from their comfortable jeans
wiping the blood off their hands to their thighs
A#7
wearing the blood of the people who’ve died
[Chorus]
D C A# A
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
D C A# A
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
D C A# A
they are liars, shrinking history in driers, teaching whiter in school
D C A# A
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
[Verse 2]
A#7
The seasons change
C7 A#7
And the violets disappear
C7
Revealing the violence that’s always been here
A#7 C7
I fear the force of the forest
A#7
Without us they still flourish
C7
In a world of non conformists
[Chorus]
D C A# A
but don’t let the Purple Flowers fool you
D C A# A
bleach every dirty truth, laundry cycling through
D C A# A
they’re all liars, we’re on fire, trees remind us they’ve rewired the news
D C A# A
It’s illegal picking Purple Flowers camoflauging concrete illusions
CODA
D7
and the purple trees just wanna be free
C7
bursting through the concrete
A#7
I am small but significant,
A7
the world is pretty when we
A7 C7 A#7 D7
And plant jacaranda trees
