Cloudy Skies, Coconut Wolf - One Bird Two Stones Lyrics

Honorable jester, a bit of a bad joke
I'd speak up, but the frog's latched in throat
I'm still attached to those things I wanted then
No matter how much I want to pretend
Nothing's said unless I tend to have pages
Running red with blood on pen
Telling Prometheus more lanes
Like he should hand Sisyphus the torch flame
Was she Athena or Artemis how she wore game
I need a sturdy cane for this second leg
Can't tell if destiny's set or if it beckons and begs
As life and death might caress all I express
Time was spent as it grabs us by the neck
To guide the next if we're inclined to step
But the more we search, we find it less
Almost like heaven's behind the steps
But it doesn't mean behind the rainbow's
A pot of diamond begets
Is this the vault of doubt or a leap of faith
We either sleep awake or reasons change
This is the present and we only have grief to exchange
Drowning in the shallow for a deeper grave
On the tombstone, it read that he killed one bird with two stones
But we're lured by the lore, so who knows
The cycle of death and rebirth will have you laughing at a funeral
Facades come apart in the mental eye
But you're some art, not some stencil lines
Some men want to pocket power only to find
It would've sufficed just to have a dog and some flowers
Love and a best friend know more than a yes man
Maybe the next end is a blessing
Ya open up
Find the wind's in your eyes
Fragrant view
Corruption knows no place inside this vein
Heart's unclaimed
This is the meaning to everything
A sense of being
Left the Wuji for something more than nothing
I created this world with this lost piece of heart and mind and soul
Combining all of this meaninglessness into something I valued more
Than thoughtful-less-ness
As it all becomes
As we all are one
As we all belong
This time he tells me that this is mine
I should begin to live for life not for granted
Don't plan it, expand it
Situation commands it
Free yourself
Leave this world; say goodbye
And maybe once I descend it transcendence can be mine
In these words he slowly drifts away
His physical presence is sure to be unclear for the rest of my days
While truth is suffering
And life is such, my friend
Life is such, my friend
Cuz letting go can be so hard when everything is taught to be valued so much
What's love
What's fear
What's acceptable and clear
How do I define myself through all these years
Where do we start
Where do we end
Where are we going
One can make amends by moving on and breaking walls
Simply destroying perceptions of soul
This is where the self shall die when the world maligns
So we must take our time
Envision indecision
Fatal thoughts will cause collisions
So fade this all away and realize
You gotta make something
Just once once once once
Because so much in this world is lost
You gotta make something
Just once once once once
Because so much in this world is lost
You gotta make something just once once once once
