Dragonfly - Nahko

You should put that cigarette out

You should have faith in my mouth

Like my mother, like your son

Like my temperamental lungs

Each piece fits into the next

Like I’m not black and I’m not white

Both revere me in my sight

You’ve got twinkles in your eyes

You say, «Vegetarians save lives»

But there’s your wings, despite my back

There’s your baby’s bassinet

Will there be one more of me?

Close my eyes and try to hide

From my former dragonfly

Little Bear woke in the woods

Chipped and peeled vehicle hoods

In that van under the covers

I’ve been stealing from my lover

Moments I cannot replace

To my former dragonfly

I resist and I survive

What a state I’ve brought this to

Logic lies of mine pull through

But what’s that say of my character?

I retreat back into nature

Will there be one more of me?

To my form of dragonfly

I resist and I survive, survive

I survive

I survive

This is resistance

I survive

I survive

I survive

This is resistance

I survive

I survive

I survive

This is resistance

I survive

I survive

I survive

This is resistance

I survive (oh, this is resistance)

I survive (yeah, this is resistance)

I survive (this is resistance)

This is resistance (this is resistance)

I survive (this is resistance)

I survive

I survive (oh yeah)

This is resistance
