lyrics

I’m fading from the chokehold of that image
Clotheslined by the sermon to not age
The calm & collected is a sham for the chaos within.
Wearing fear like a mask, confusing it with respect,
Grasping at charred straws
Someone lost grip of the raging wildfire within,
Trying to be part of the scene

Mirror,
Our savior lives in the mirror
Iooks like me, feels like you, lies like us
Mirror
Our savior lives in the mirror
Iooks like me, feels like you, laughs like us


Oh say, can't you see
Through those rose colored glasses?
Is that la migra for tree trimmers?
A singing birthday gram or a gang of niggers?
Jesus, Ghandhi, where's that sage?
Someone hand me that Palo santo I bought from East Palo Alto
Unsure What to do when they are all gone

Now it burns, burns, burns
And when You ring No one’s home
To take that call

So you turn, turn, turn
Pages of past lovers & they too have moved on from themselves to build that Wall

Mirror,
Our savior lives in the mirror
Iooks like me, feels like you, lies like us
Mirror
Our savior lives in the mirror
Iooks like me, feels like you, laughs like us

The chemistry comes from the bond forged by frontman Kalu James, and guitarist Jonathan “JT” Holt, who adds a touch of American soul to West African heritage.
