[singer A] They say it’s just a breakup, it’ll pass with time But it feels like a war zone living in my mind Every room got echoes I can’t outrun And I’m the only one who hears the guns I learned to smile when I’m falling apart Say “I’m fine” like it’s a form of art So I breathe in… hold it tight Try to make it through the night Breathe out… don’t let it show Hide the things they’ll never know If no one hears it when I break Did it even happen anyway? [transition] [singer B] Bare feet on the sand, I’m marked by the tide Salt on my skin when the moon comes wide You hear that call when I step in the lane Old drum in my chest, I don’t need a chain I came with the fire from the edge of the sea Roots in my mouth when I say who I be Hear that thunder in my throat Hold your ground, don’t let it float One beat, one breath, one line We move like waves, we move like time Haka on the island, haka on the shore We rise, we rise, then we ask for more Haka on the island, feel that ground shake Step, clap, call it out, let the whole beach wake Haka on the island, haka in my name I bring that old heat, I bring that flame [transition] [singer A] They don’t see the nights we don’t sleep Or the secrets that we have to keep Bruises hidden underneath the clothes Stories that nobody wants to know Every word feels like it disappears When nobody wants to really hear I’m breathing in… I’m still here Even drowning in the fear Breathing out… piece by piece Hoping someday I find peace Even if they look away I know it happened anyway [transition] [singer B] Coconut stains on the shirt of the night Brother at my side with the stare too bright We don’t talk small when the circle gets tight We sing to the sky and we take back the light From the reef to the ridge, hear the whole crew talk Every hard-earned word got a warrior walk Haka on the island, haka on the shore We rise, we rise, then we ask for more Haka on the island, feel that ground shake Step, clap, call it out, let the whole beach wake Haka on the island, haka in my name I bring that old heat, I bring that flame
