about

I wrote Dakota in response to the 2016 Dakota Pipeline protests - it angered me the way protesters were treated simply for their fight for keep purity. In 'Dakota' I explore the themes of water, ownership and control.

lyrics

DAKOTA

Rain drops on the border
Ice underwater
Chaos and kindness
Toxic and pure
Rain drops on the border
Ice underwater
Tell me where the line is

You can’t own it
You can’t control
You can’t own it
You can’t control it

You can’t own it
You can’t control
You can’t own it
You can’t control it

Teardrops on the water
Fall into disorder
Poisoned, corroded
Filtered, unclear
One abhorration
Oil in the ocean
You’re making colours out of darkness

You can’t own it
You can’t control
You can’t own it
You can’t control it
You can’t own it
You can’t control
You can’t own it
You can’t control it

Instrumental

You can’t own it
You can’t control
You can’t own it
You can’t control it

You can’t own it
You can’t control
You can’t own it
You can’t control it
