Cherry Coke 03:01
Still I wonder where you go Still I wonder where you hide Still I wonder where I go Hills I roam Still I wonder where you’ll be Still I wonder when you’ll find Stay beside Cherry Coke Ontario Still I wonder where you’ll be Still I wonder when you’ll leave Stay inside Stay with me Cherry Coke Ontario

Birch bark canoe merges onto the freeway No turn signal, how to switch lanes? Paddle slower into slumber accelerator Space - time - reflex and futuristic waves Worker boy swimming out in the deep Can’t touch bottom prehistorically I’ll sit and stare as the crow comes into ramble Fresh cut grass and tree stump in the yard Gate at the drive is rusted and grown over Ship and canoe is the soul of the archive Take on water as you hear the sound of concrete Residential military White picket fences at the cemetery Residential military Residential military

Could you come in more than memories Please haunt me in my dreams I need a song to re-release What a mess and sheer relief Send me a charm Send me a sign When you do it Do it for the once child When we find I’m not talking about drugs I’m talking about you Find yourself or lose the youth So we can be safe

Feeling all of the evil Hearing all of the people Gather all of the children Someone calling your name Taken like the flower Ruins crumble over And I miss my brother Someone calling your name And my mother

Spirit in Me 02:50
You always knew what you needed to do And the water is clean and it’s inside of me And you don’t have to fear it you just can’t go near it There’s some kind of spirit There’s some kind of spirit The spirit in me is my family The past and the future Together it’s nearer To our prophecy This resurgency I’m hearing you calling So I make this offering Hey there Great Spirit I just can’t go near it This chip on my shoulder Is worn to the bone It’s our prophecy The spirit in me I look to the past after all that’s been cast And whose land are you on We’ve known all along Get sewn back together Yea we’re still survivors My brother is crying My sister’s been trying My father surviving Mother does it all I’ll hear you call I hear you call You always knew what you needed to do And the water is clean and it’s inside of me You don’t have to fear it you just can’t go near it There’s some kind of spirit There’s some kind of spirit The spirit in me

Wade it out drown in doubt Talk me down sound aloud Hold account say it pride Round around wait it out Wade on out Round about Talk me down Sound aloud Hold account Sing it proud Round around Moon tide down Moon tide doubt Round and round Wade on out My family was on a Treaty Three Fire’s Society Our migration was such a complexity These borders they kinda gridlock me In my identity I do it for my family My forefathers were Pottawatomi Baskets and feathers and jail and schools Three Fires Society And I gathered up the receipts and traced the Birch bark paper trail On an assimilated and “Removal Act” back No band membership Patriarchal ancestors and shit I found you on my phone And then I found you in the registry Some roll buried in the archives And mashed up in the mush bowl

And I’m wondering why The hardened push and pull Spend your days gone Another lovers lost And we You Ahh Blue Ahh You And I’m wondering why The hardened push and pull Spend your days gone Another lovers lost And we
