about

A song about two tragic events. One while the world watched, the other close to home and relatively unknown. Both are hard to fathom and difficult to process but somehow we must, and then make change.

lyrics

Planks & Marietta

I see white picket fences and pink lemonade
Street signs and headlines that won’t change a thing
My heart is heavy with shallow breathing
A black life shattered for all the world to see

Planks and Marietta your history repeats
Planks and Marietta there’s stains in your streets
Planks and Marietta your grass grows green
What else do you hide behind your skinned knees?

White picket lines and red spray paint
Crosswalks and blind spots you’re whispering
your slurs and your curse words written in the street
Black lives scattered underneath your feet

Planks and Marietta your history repeats
Planks and Marietta there’s stains in your streets
Planks and Marietta your grass grows green
What else do you hide behind your skinned knees?

Your sticks and your stones never broke my bones, but your names still haunt me

Planks and Marietta your history repeats
Planks and Marietta there’s stains in your streets
Planks and Marietta your days grow long
It echos on your sidewalks and rolls off your tongue

Planks and Marietta
Planks and Marietta
Is change gonna come?
Is change gonna come?
Is change gonna come?
Is change gonna come?
