"Tai Chi With My Dad" lyrics

I drank coffee with the raven
Who said empathy is painful
But if you want to eat the fruit
You gotta feel the rainfall
I drank coffee with the 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 7, unable to breathe
A week hooked up to machines my dad trying to 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 the raven
Who said empathy is painful
But if you want to eat the fruit
You gotta feel the rainfall
I drank coffee with the 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 the raven
Who said empathy is painful
But if you want to eat the fruit
You gotta feel the rainfall
