this is a work in progress. the hope is to record it with a musician I am currently living/working with.
everything's green in nipon, we sleep on tatami
eat with the hashi, gohan and kami
tsunamis
upon me is the modern, merged with the past
the land of death, gods and wrath
karma and manners, polite chatter
drink and yell, it don't matter
the batter cooks on the flat iron stove
and the grass grows lush in the sudachi grove
the flow of life here is clear and definied
so breath the fresh air sip some rice wine
in nipon we sleep on the floor
grow kome and genki to store
imbibe away tension, find way to make rent and
the search of this section is core
so I wander these planes of change
this train snakes through and the view remains same
same, sane, an elemental root
black, dark, white, we all are too
its the human, movement, light life die
eat breath sleep, and shit like all the rest
run cry laugh, love hate fear,
reflect on the past, as your death draws near
so strong and common, dad child mom and
the beat of the planet, is on us
in nipon we sleep on the floor
grow kome and genki to store
imbibe away tension, find way to make rent and
the search of this section is core
so please consider, that all must wither
the rock will crumble and trees shall splinter
spring breeds winter which beckons the fall
of sky scraping mountains
marble fountains and walls
so call to the nations
elations of graces
peace folded cranes
a new era of patience
in nipon we sleep on the floor
grow kome and genki to store
imbibe away tension, find way to make rent and
the search of this section is core
in nipon we sleep on the floor
