Saint

I am no saint
Brown boy, red pain
Brown boy's insane
I am no saint
Brown boy, red pain
That boy's insane

I talk to you like
I know you
But everything's all fucked up
My head's all fucked up
My spirit's fucked up
It's just as
Lonely as the sky no-body
Stay they just fly bye
And I'm so hurt and you're so high
So would you consider taking some time
To take a step back, see the world from my POV
It's not glamorous like you think
I can't connect with the waves
The sun is off, the sky is fake
The bird's are fake
Your smiles are fake
You're all so fucking fake
Like why be fake
What does it take to get to the real side
Slip up, sip up, go dumb and get high
At least I know it's how I'll live and die

I am no saint
Brown boy, red pain
Brown boy's insane
I am no saint
Brown boy, red pain
That boy's insane

I've got that
Native shit dancing through my veins
Dancing through my heart up to my brain
Chanting, begging to break free
From the mad world that's changing me
Tell me what you see when you look at me
Everything is not always what it seems
Can't you see
All the pain in me
Basket woven with suffering
Filled with doubt and grief
This here, this right here is my basket
Ma:muʔ aye, ma:muʔ waʔkʰe čʰeʔ:et̯'may

So for my ancestors I promise you with all my breath
I won't forgive, I won't forget
All the pain and all the death
Open my eyes
The sun and sky are red
This is for that, This is for them
We the Indigenous reclaim our land back

I am no saint
Brown boy, red pain
Brown boy's insane

I am no saint
Brown boy, red pain
That boy's insane

I am no saint
Brown boy, red pain
Brown boy's insane

I am no saint
Brown boy, red pain
That boy's insane
