Melodywhore - White Flight (feat. J.Robot) Lyrics

Washed in white
An eastward sprawl
Flee the crime (for now)
And leave behind some
Good people
Unwilling to give up on their home
You left them alone

Love or hate it
We perpetuate it
Love or hate it
We keep this shit alive

You wag your finger
From your hill
Your abandoned neighborhood never learns its worth
And you smile while your taxes fund a public pool
And all your alma mater gets is a brand new pool of blood

If you were told all this time you didn't matter, do you think you'd value life?
If all you hear and see erased the truth of your history,
Would you feel safe at night?
You wouldn't (love or hate it) feel like you had a reason to live at all
No, no you wouldn't (love or hate it) feel like you had a reason to live at all

Watch it fall

Love or hate it
We perpetuate it
Love or hate it
We keep this shit alive

Cut a slice outta me, seek humanity, the modern world is cheap plastic fantasy
I consent a pilfered piece for your records, reimburse me but I expected better
You see my past, the lightning strike encoded in my history, I'm a f*cking modern mystery
Revealed in sections like tree rings, tests reveal my cells are not conforming
If I leave the South I accept defeat - conforming smells like rotting meat, so I stay
And play by rules that give me leverage, god mode in a melanin marriage
Arranged ancestors ago every time I hear a PSA the more I know the more I throw up in my mouth
It's everywhere, not just down south

Love or hate it
We perpetuate it
Love or hate it
We keep this shit alive
