Tai Chi With My Dad Songtext
von Bears in Trees

I drank coffee with a raven
Who said, "Empathy is painful
But if you want to eat the fruit
You gotta feel the rainfall"
I drank coffee with a raven
They said, "Don′t you go complaining
Put your feet against the pavement
Your life is yours for the making"

I've been on borrowed time since seven
Unable to breathe
A week hooked up to machines
My dad tryna teach me Tai Chi
The sundial informs me I′m too early
For the universe's heat death
But hopefully I'm not too late
To catch my breath and get my bike fixed


I drank coffee with a raven
Who said, "Empathy is painful
But if you want to eat the fruit
You gotta feel the rainfall"
I drank coffee with a raven
They said, "Don′t you go complaining
Put your feet against the pavement
Your life is yours for the making"

You looked at me through double glazing
Folded your voice to a gnostic text
Do you get lonely sometimes?
All I had left was to answer, "Yes"
Every morning, I′ve been talking
All my secrets to the trees
But lately, they don't return my whispers
They ain′t talking back to me

I drank coffee with a raven
Who said, "Empathy is painful
But if you want to eat the fruit
You gotta feel the rainfall"
