black squares - bob clausen lyrics

[verse 1]
close your eyes
we’re going for a walk
the sp*ce you’re in right now is empty
listen to me talk

[chorus 1]
n0body around
n0body to watch
n0body to see you
n0body to judge

[verse 2]
keep your eyes closed
while your mind opens
listen to the birds
oh such poets

[chorus 1]
n0body around
n0body to watch
n0body to see you
n0body to judge

[verse 3]
feel my hand on your shoulder
it’s time to stand up
i know you’re afraid
but that will fade, let’s walk
you see the trees
hear the birds and the bugs
everything is now
there’s no future or past
nothing can exist without this moment
watch your thoughts
they may tell you there’s a future
but when that moment comes
it will happen in the now
it’s no different with the past
things change, rearrange
start existing then they stop
we feel scared and insecure
cause we don’t see the path
do we trust in mother nature
our creator and our mom?
the creator of the seed
the sapling and the tree
the earth in which it thrives
and the birds that live and eat
of the fruits that she created
while we all live and breathe
of the air that is her breath
and on the earth that are her feet
we keep seeing differences
we’re violent so we bleed
but we’re holding the knife
it is our choice but we’re asleep
better yet call it blind
cause we’re awake but we don’t see it
we’re hurting our fellow brother, sister living beings
cause somewhere down the line
we stopped to really be
we skipped a beat then started thinking
and never really quit it

[verse 4]
wake up, i gotta pee
breakfast, i gotta eat
brush t**th, go to work
i’m at work and thinking off
buying all my groceries
at the store, i am totally
worried about my social feed
while i post a selfie
i want you to know of me
that i buy only oatly
then someone stopped and told me
that i shouldn’t post these
so i’m at home cooking dinner
rethinking life decisions
cause a stranger posted a thing on twitter
now this is feeling really bitter
i should think more positively

[verse 5]
so i wake up, i gotta pee
breakfast, i gotta eat
brush t**th, go to work
i’m at work and thinking off
buying all my groceries
at the store, i am totally
worried about my social feed
wait something changed, i see
black squares on instagram
an endless stream of black squares
what is this? black lives matter
i’ll repost and that’s that
tomorrow i’ll continue to
do what i am used to
[verse 6]
so i wake up, i gotta pee
breakfast, i gotta eat
brush t**th, go to work
i’m at work and thinking off
buying all my groceries
at the store, i am totally
worried about my social feed
wait, somethings still not right, i see
pictures of a man with his knee on the neck
of freaking human being cause his skin is lovely black
can someone please explain to me
what is happening?
what is happening?

[chorus 2]
does the sun only shine for white*skinned people?
do the birds only sing for white*skinned people?
does gravity work, just for white people?
does rain only fall on white*skinned people?

[verse 7]
racism isn’t our nature…
start questioning your behavior
your thoughts, your beliefs
we’re fueled by the things we see
our parents our elders, the people we grew up with
we teach what we’ve been taught but we don’t question what we’re taught
as kids, we want approval of our parents whom we love
they never taught us how to love ourselves and how to wash
the dirt out of our mind because they’re still swimming in mud
[chorus 3]
all of us looking for love
no one there to give it to us
all of us looking for love
no one there to give it to us

[verse 8]
love yourself, whatever happens
you deserve to be loved don’t let that perish
don’t let your love be conditional no
no “if you do, then i will…”
no “he said so now i feel”, no
just love yourself
don’t rely on the words of others
just love yourself
you’re already home
realize this you will be strong
just love yourself
love yourself
don’t let anyone rob you of your love
love yourself
love yourself
