Jungles

It’s overwhelming me, the static in the trees
The sun is burning me, there is no cooling breeze
We don’t belong to ourselves, at the mercy of the cats
We belong to places, to places
Strong and brave, courageous
Our tiger faces
I crouch down low and freeze, the leaves are shuffling
Lips curled away from teeth, she has been prowling me
We don’t belong to ourselves, they’ve been planning their attack
We belong to places, to places
Strong and brave, courageous
Our tiger faces
We belong to what we came from
Leaving home will be a struggle
Wearing masks and beating war drums
Won’t equip us for these jungles
We belong to places, to places
Strong and brave, courageous
Our tiger faces
We belong to places, to places
Strong and brave, courageous
Our tiger faces
