Lyrics
The second drawer down sticks on a Tuesday.
The cheap pine warps in this West Oakland haze.
You tap the McCormick label, ask me “What’s this?”
I just say “It's the map of all her better days.”
[Chorus]
And you breathe it in, this atlas of dust and seed
Suddenly this whole kitchen is everything I'll ever need.
[Verse 2]
Here’s the korerima, a root that bites you back.
My brother's new life running on a different track.
She'd whisper, "isshi, boy, a little pinch is all you need,”
You're just staring at the dust from a long-dead weed.
[Chorus]
And you breathe it in, this atlas of dust and seed
Suddenly this whole kitchen is everything I'll ever need.
[Bridge]
You say "It's just some spices, babe," and the sound is so clean.
I'm trying to show you a color you've never seen.
[Outro]
I push the drawer shut. A soft click of pine.
Rewinding the scent, one last time.
