The Quill - Pink Dress Lyrics

Aiyana in the casket
Pink dress, black skin
That was her crime, we guess she's missing recess
Mama peering in can't stand to see her baby's skin
Behind her tears and hands she lifts her chin up to the sky and says
How could you let this happen
She was always laughing
Doesn't see the boy but she's still crying yelling at him like
How could you be so cold
And still be dressed in gold
They took my baby 84 months old
Whether I'm talking to God or the cosmos and the stars
Your guilty conscience isn't healing any scars
Don't tell me it's a lesson she was sleep he had a weapon
She was only seven now you force me to believe in heaven

Why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why
Why you standing why you watching why you watch me burn
Why, why, why
There's lead coming out my faucet
Blood coming out my wallet
Taking your turn you making us burn
Think my house is haunted oh
Why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why

Aiyana in the casket
Pink dress, black skin
The boy watches as they pick up the mess
The quiet folds in her dress
But Aiyana opens her eyes and for the very first time
She sees him looks him in the eyes and says
I felt you watching me
But now that I can see
I'm not mad but I got questions why'd you rock with me
Was it pity was it envy
Was it really even friendly
Now you got everything, why are you empty but
I hear you yelling wake up yeah
Find another way up yeah
I hear you yelling say something but
I'm never gonna wake up

Why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why
Why you standing why you watching why you watch me burn
Why, why, why
There's lead coming out my faucet
Blood coming out my wallet
Taking your turn you making us burn
Think my house is haunted oh
Why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why
