Escape Lyrics by Te’von

Grown

2020

[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
