Time - Tea At The Market
They talked all day like they knew each other for years
You could smell the toasted spices in the tea house
Rose hips and lavender, the merchant brought the tea out
Saffron curry swirl the wind made the trees bow
The bees clocked out the queen sleeps in the beehouse
He said you're always reading how do you inspire yourself?
She said with intent the universe conspires to help
She said knowledge begets begets knowledge and power is power
But without mixing both then the power devours
If you use the metaphors of war you feed war
The best weapon is alchemy that's what your mind's for
The essence of a demon? unprocessed grief
It actuates as attack, mistaken for relief
The frankincense burned, the ash slept in the window sill
Ambition like a whale but actions are minnow still
At peace with yourself, hell, every freaking day I have to ask myself will this day be the last day I lie in the sun?
Do you understand the angles of metamorphosis?
There's more to linear time other cycles exist
Have you ever seen a butterfly turn into a caterpillar?
Are you a human or a planet killer?
He contemplated the question and self transformation
The art of shapeshifting and cell manipulation
A hero with a 1000 faces a villain with a million
He learned to forgive em all and reality melted
A pixel in a mosaic, a puzzle piece in a collage
Words are things, your thoughts are your entourage
Psychic surgery, cut the ego pass the blade
Cut the mask away bring the light to the shade
She said feel what you felt every time you were betrayed
The fear frayed away, I no longer felt afraid
She said fast for 3 days and swallow the wrath
Then take a left at the forest, that's Paulo's Path
