escape - te'von lyrics

[intro]
take me home
take me home
take me home
take me home

[verse 1]
i been searching for home
i heard that it takes a village to raise a child
but i been searching alone
turning my days into nights
just navigating with light from the sky
a voyage of my soul
i’m a nomad, my mama trained me to be
because there’s no land that’s worth being grated to pieces
i’m going home…
i’m going home…
if i could fly
then i’d fly away
i’d go south of the cold
and land in a land that is warm to my soles
if i could cry
then i’d cry a lake
and sail on my tears through my fears, after years, into my great escape

[break]

[verse 2]
i stand in proxy of the lost and forgotten
slain, maimed, and shamed
black flowers who got clipped we say their names
pour a libation, dampen the pain
they got us out here like vagrants begging for change
i been in the streets ducking danger
native stranger
just tryna find my way outta here now
the road gets heavy
situation’s scary
i been out in the field ducking strays from the vest
just need a moment to rest
can i lay my head on your chest

[instrumental]

[outro: nina simone]
the structure, the cleanliness, the tone, the … nuances. the implications, the silences, the dynamics: the pianissimos, the fortissimos. all have to deal with sound and music and it’s as close to god as i know
