Failed to Lotus

I was kickin rocks down the street
And I was making love to my defeat
When someone tells you to be at peace
Don't it make you kinda want to scream?
Cause you can't carry the dead in the branches of your tree

Failed to lotus but I'm back on my knees
Watching the clouds passing by the immovable beast

So I buried them neath the clay
And said a prayer for their release
So light upon my feet
As the heaven's shook the mountains and the mountains shook the seas
And my heart strings danced me like a marionette and my dreams woke free from sleep

Failed to lotus but I'm back on my knees
Watching the clouds passing by the immovable beast

There's honey in the trees
And it's dripping down on me
There's light upon the breeze
And it's teaching me how to sing
In a voice so shrill like a crow with no beak

Failed to lotus but I'm back on my knees
Watching the clouds passing by the immovable beast

The Towhees chirp so sweet
As their wings grace the leaves
Their song fills the air
And every note kisses me
Allowing the birth of the fool
Erupting in wisdom that cannot speak
