My feet's tired (see page 108)

Numb

I was on the roof and
Contemplatin' truth and
Saw myself runnin'
But now I ain't runnin'

Came a long way
Remember them days
Still see it in we face
Blues blood them waves
Come out to show them
Looking for a old place, new space
Behind the moon and the stars
But not another planet, just balance
But we stuck, love my pain
Whole life bad luck 'caus- (God)
They ain't trust us
Ain't the type to know real, just us or without us
Make a new dance about, then drown us
Make the pain go away, brain go away
Celebrate sorrow, till I can't tomorrow
Just time borrowed
It's just time borrowed
Imagine light without the darkness
Or the mind without solace
This what mama taught us?
This what mama taught us?
This ain't what they taught us
(I sa-)

(I saw myself, saw my-)
I was on the roof and
Contemplatin' truth and
Saw myself runnin'
(But now I ain't runnin')
Now I'm back where I begun
Nowhere to run
After freedom, now my feets stay numb
But I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone

Like a hole, or like a ghost, like coals, like smoke
My soul, blue shell
Like shoals, no roads
Where I go? Where I go-o?
They know, they know
I'm alone, ain't home, I'm home

I was on the roof and
Contemplatin' truth and
I- Saw myself runnin'
But now I ain't runnin'
