Sister Self
That pole isn't growing in my black solid sky
Solid sky
And pirate ships pulled these shoulders back
But in morning slumber I gripped the slender palm of my hand
And I felt the soft of my flesh
And I stared into my sister self
And we was running, running, running
We was climbing, we was fighting
We was breathing fast
Praying please
We were singing
We were dancing
We were clapping
Singing, dancing, clapping
We were returning to the hills
Bringing buckets drawn from the wells
Returning from to the hills
Bringing buckets drawn from the wells
But I've got to hold my own hand
I've got to hold my own hand
And this is my skin I feel
And these are the teeth that I clench
And the hazel of my sight
Plus the colors she wears is mine
O that color she's wearing is mine
And we was running, running, running
We was climbing, we was fighting
We was breathing fast
Praying please
We were singing
We were dancing
We were clapping
Singing, dancing, clapping
We were returning to the hills
Bringing buckets drawn from the wells
Returning from to the hills
Bringing buckets drawn from the wells
Irmã Eu Mesma
Aquele mastro não tá crescendo no meu céu negro e sólido
Céu sólido
E os navios piratas puxaram meus ombros pra trás
Mas na sonolência da manhã eu segurei a palma fina da minha mão
E senti a maciez da minha carne
E encarei minha irmã eu mesma
E a gente tava correndo, correndo, correndo
A gente tava subindo, a gente tava lutando
A gente tava respirando rápido
Orando, por favor
A gente tava cantando
A gente tava dançando
A gente tava batendo palmas
Cantando, dançando, batendo palmas
A gente tava voltando pras colinas
Trazendo baldes tirados dos poços
Voltando pras colinas
Trazendo baldes tirados dos poços
Mas eu tenho que segurar minha própria mão
Eu tenho que segurar minha própria mão
E essa é minha pele que eu sinto
E esses são os dentes que eu cerro
E o avelã da minha visão
Além das cores que ela usa, são minhas
Oh, aquela cor que ela tá usando é minha
E a gente tava correndo, correndo, correndo
A gente tava subindo, a gente tava lutando
A gente tava respirando rápido
Orando, por favor
A gente tava cantando
A gente tava dançando
A gente tava batendo palmas
Cantando, dançando, batendo palmas
A gente tava voltando pras colinas
Trazendo baldes tirados dos poços
Voltando pras colinas
Trazendo baldes tirados dos poços
