indelible ink - so great and powerful lyrics
inkie, we love you too
stay with the family
wear your mane straight and loose
dream parade floats every road
front rows at magic shows, these girls
loved to read stories of the past
who knew that pinkie with her curls
saved up such magic in her laugh
yeah, everyone knows it. still
it’s not like we’ll say it, girl
just who do you think we are?
it’s never (it’s never)
as simple (as simple)
as a tree that grows tall
that’s misunderstanding what we are
she’ll never (she’ll never)
return to the farm
and party away your broken heart
yeah, we know you’re her sister, still
what makes you special, girl?
when did you save the world?
she’s never
running around
becoming the crystal that dissolves
the weight of all those stones
oh, please come home
your father’s ill
the quarry needs you
always wild at heart
into the world, we fold like two eyes
if you could do it all over
would you gallop or canter? (gallop or canter)
would you follow or lead her? (follow or lead her)
trust your love or desire?
she is composed of lines:
tropics and meridians
at the party, never fitting in
what’s on the other side
a politics of sisterhood
doing what a sister should
daydreams of different lives
forgetting this geodesy
the beauty of chalcedony
(any change, any loss, does not make us victims. others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can’t prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you’re presented with and moving on. no matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. you always have a choice, and that choice can be power.)
is this really fantasy?
abandoning her family?
the moral of geology:
the heart is sedimentary
the world has only one story:
fidelity to community
in endless multiplicity
only we make unity
our mark, our singularity
indelible, indelible ink
yeah, everyone knows it, still
it’s not like we’ll say it, girl
just who do you think you are?
