Planet Whatever how can you see me? I’m hiding in the wishing well I thought I’d be safe here surrounded by things that already fell how can you see? how can you see? through the mess of what’s lost permanently I’m in deep, I’m in deep I can’t help these thoughts and they can’t help me now that I’m down here I’ve seen what other people want but what they don’t realize is most of the things here could’ve been bought I only came down here To help me figure out what I want But there’s not much at the bottom And now all I want is to be at the top please don’t wish for something this well is filling up if you don’t get what you wished for my body will float to the top please don’t wish for something this well is filling up try granting a wish for someone to make the rising water stop

stripped of my tongue words are tied in knots loss of self, loss of place to only see one face skin that you hate erased by fear you perpetuate forced to fade away

the ancestors are calling, made a soup out of period blood the spirits are calling, it's gonna be jail or the flood sage on the walls cant cover up the blood 16 cowries so long-- so long inside the void 16 cowries so long-- watch the witch pick up the sticks the portal for resistance is open, the dead know your name too many black transwomen's bodies to fit into a refrain 16 cowries so long-- watch the witch pick up the sticks sage on the walls can't cover up the blood 16 cowries so long-- a new day in a new land. divination watch the witch pick up the sticks

why would a pig at the mall use his gun on a child who had called for his help as he was told? why were the eyes of the crowd on the price of the clothes? he was 10 years old. there are no innocent bystanders only victims and executioners. justice is a myth. we drown in the flood of ancient vengeance or swim through blood to the surface.

We sought more answers than we gave We'll take this string of losses to the grave If we don't tally we won't know What these charts and graphs won't show That these final figures Will never match projections Game over, man Game over We lost more heroes than we gained Our accomplishments are crimes to be explained There's statues to things that we've lost And parks in the fields where we've fought Yet still we take pride in our name And these hollow values Will always win elections Game over, man Game over We're born with eyes and ears and hands We'll use these to fill our demands Everyone wants to show everyone how they've grown Media feeding you all you know Proud citizens proudly controlled by fear March in line in time repeating all the words they hear Their zealotry will undo everything they've known There's no place like home
