lirik lagu gabriel teodros - for us, by us
my body is the vessel
stressed beyond it’s threshold
all we had to care for when we fled our burning temples
i’ve been hard on mine
i’m tryna teach my mind how to be gentle
i got scars that shine
weight i carry could make me resentful
but this weight i carry carried all my hopes and held my mental
this weight i carry carried me in love and i am thankful
this weight i got married in is worth cherishing
we age different
made it through apocalyptic scenes
live to honor all of our lost friends and family
it isn’t easy, but there’s a beauty in surviving this
i see the reason every time i see our kids
and it’s an act of trust to love ourselves the way they love us
the way we love them, we can not lose touch
to build a safe place for them, we need a safe place for us
it’s a home that’s more than home, more than close ones you know
a safe place to grow
heal our hearts and ease our souls
a safe place for us, from the ashes of our homes
a safe place for us, from the ashes of our homes
a safe place for us, from the ashes of our homes
a safe place for us, from the ashes of our homes
the child in me
still feels it all
we ran from bombs and fires and guns
from a dream we could not touch
now i’m grown
with babies of my own
i heal myself so i become
a home to the ones we love
from the ashes of our homes
battles long, will it ever pass?
for safety for our own, must reborn
i heard phoenix laugh
felt it in my bones
flesh gets old while my fingers grasp
a feather made of embers
in your winter, remember it can’t last
that is if you grow
we escaped from places made our own
and now my tongue is native to a language safe has never known
i treasure those
who strain to make those feathers glow
but what i’m severed from makes me afraid to feel we’re ever close
forever closed
the numb felt like the love the world would never show
and in my numb became the gun that pieces homes
or keeps from whole
by putting holes in peace we prayed
preyed by beasts with fangs
who make you beast who scream in pain
and thus we burn the homes we used to dream to make
i dream to take that fire and make a thing of grace
to ease the pain our parents couldn’t even name
to increase our gains
we need the weight
don’t need to wait
to keep our home from the ashes
we must be the safe
i earn/urn my ashes by the things i face
from the ashes of our homes
a safe place for us, from the ashes of our homes
a safe place for us, from the ashes of our homes
a safe place for us, from the ashes of our homes
