LYRICS
Oh we have fallen
as a whole
and were sinking

down a hole
without thinking
about our loves ones
who might be shrinking

into a sunken space
with glass surrounding
their powers
that are pounding

in their temple in their mind
theres seems to be a complexity to being kind
to your space to your temple
to your neighbors
who’ve seen the changes

we all feel change
some of us wear masks
to hide the pain
And i just wish i could ask

QADIR WHATS THE DEAL NOW?
WHAT DID YOU PLANT IN YOUR MOTHERS GARDEN?
QADIR I MISS YOU DEARLY
WHAT DID YOU PLANT IN YOUR MOTHERS GARDEN

OH hemos sido esclavos
to these systems
that project false beauty

exorcisms
burn it out of my body
This dependency don’t help nobody

we’re sitting in dark rooms
with bags on our heads
waiting for god to touch us
We just wanna be closer

its overwhelming
some of us wear masks
because some can’t adapt
I just wish i could ask

QADIR WHATS THE DEAL NOW?
WHAT DID YOU PLANT IN YOUR MOTHERS GARDEN?
QADIR I MISS YOU DEARLY
WHAT DID YOU PLANT IN YOUR MOTHERS GARDEN
