Lyrics:
Butchered stoic notions
Holding to be true
If it's beyond your power
then it's nothing to you
Young ox you can't sway
Push him down he's in the way
Some days you can't stay
in his dove garden
The old man sees me here and he cocks his head
Recognition for a fleeting moment despite
how we laud him based on how much he had read
Wishing to see perching owls
brings a stray UFO crashing through
And every person I know is a small God wandering
through the grass lawn finding truth
They will judge you harshly
so pose the question smartly
There's only heavy water
for your tea party
But don't look down on me, haggard, thinking tired
Appreciating the imagery, backwards and forwards fire
And if I misquote Cage or Kant it doesn't mean my
interpretation can't be useful to me
Somewhere, people are texting
buying new houses, eating parfaits
profits from what others have made
Ill thoughts, reaching their target
feeling subhuman, stuck where they are
taking the blame, eat in the car
I am a tea boy and I make the tea
I can clench my jaw until I can moisturize my eyes
The only way I work is from beginning to end and
I mess up all the time and I
try to feel bad about myself
Missing the time when the owls
screech at 3:33 in the morn
And the world is all bound with secret knots that
curse the whole day you were born
What do you do when the man doesn't
think he's the man but he buries you
Somewhere, people are texting
buying new houses, eating parfaits
profit from what others have made
Ill thoughts, reaching their target
so-called subhumans, stuck where they are
taking the blame, eat in the car
Close by, jerkwads are texting
buying new handbags, hosting parties
leaving a mess for others to clean
Stress nukes, nailing their target
so-called subhumans, death never far
being ashamed we're stuck where we are
Exercise, saving, and eating well
These are things that I can't do well
Working, waiting for the phone to ring
stress is what's hindering
Walkin on my childhood pier
was not a pitch for you to live here
just a gesture hopefully
rephrasing what your crew taught me
Without new experiences
it's hard to come up with new ideas and
situations that are pleasant
are the only way that I can be present
I, I, I
Live in the moment
Selfishly living in the moment
Live in the moment
Because it lives for you
I, I, I
Live in the moment
Selfishly living in the moment
Live in the moment
Because it lives for you
So I'm making some time for those problems
that are monsters that crawl 'round the floor
Now let's brew our tea with heavy water that
equates it to what we endure
