i am a homeland - omar musa lyrics

Loading...

inhale, exhale
inhale, exhale

aku tanah air
i am a homeland
weighted to the ocean floor by a moral conundrum
on the waking edge between forested life and limitless sleeps
sand is scalloped like an ear
it hears, listens, fizzes, rustles
hold breath*like confessions sayang and let it go in rhythm

inhale, i am singular
exhale, i appear in many places

south, south*west
the pirate winds go through my slatted bones
bind me in smoke
romanticism fattens and bloats around the liver
rеalpolitic and electroshock to the hеart
coins sink upwards out of my pores
and stories are engraved with my blood
there are durian husks and potato skins on these shores

inhale, i am yearning
exhale, i am in consequence
i hear them call me an illegitimate kingdom
fake muslim, snake oil trade port
middle class mirage
an empty plot where the rivers co*mingle
orchards and torched ginger
my garlands have started to rot
the plastic fish mounted on the wall is singing it’s last poorly pitched jingle

inhale, i am fraud
exhale, i am truth

north, north*east
i am a land of disorder
my existence
resistance to admin and trade companies
cannons and capital
colonisers f*cked me with mechanical d*cks
to extract my hidden glint
drilled down into my flesh
and there lie the oil wells that will set the forest aflame

inhale, i am anger
exhale, i am acceptance

at times i am glacial
