Avey Tare - Coral Lords lyrics

"Corals were the first timekeepers
Of Planet Earth
For more than half a billion years
Their internal clocks have
Been synchronized with
The sun and the moon however
It would take life several
Hundred million years
Of further evolution before finally crawling
Out of from beneath the liquid
Lens of the ocean and
Into the open air where it
Would develop the consciousness
Necessary to ask the question
Then the intelligence needed to invent
The technology to empirically measure
It's objective reality thus
The purpose of life is to
Quantify the nature of the
Cosmos it'self the development of
Symbiosis between coral and
Humankind appears as a harbinger for
The final stages of
Life on earth our ouroboros
Is nearly complete"

I pray deep like Buddha
But, I don't understand him
More water in my coffee
Than there is on dry land

They speak to the coral
Stories they can't tell
Countries caught on fire bodies blown around

Just like continuous breathing
Very sweet sleep not a violent night
Yeah but how fast she can change and swell
Yeah she's so heavy she's a lover
And I sure hope she'll last my life
Lost in the rumbling of the foaming curl

So why in the world would I fight you?
Getting pulled down can enlighten you
Struggle bounds if it frightens you
Search for the ground it's
Like being here today

I pray deep like Buddha
Say that I'm a good man
More water in my coffee
Than there is on dry land

So why in the world would I fight you?
Getting pulled down can enlighten you
Struggle bounds if it frightens you
Search for the ground it's
Like being here today

I pray deep like Buddha
But, I don't understand it
More water in my coffee
Than there is on dry land

"Cause remember
You've been floating in water
So Mother Nature
Has been coded with this stuff"

I pray deep like Buddha
Say that I'm a good man
I pray deep like Buddha
Say that I'm a good man
