The Teacup Survives the Storm
Surviving Storms: Unveiling Life's Dark Hues with Freddy Fudd Pucker
Lyrics
A spinal staircase unworthy of
A staircase in the spine that lacks value
The septic sunset that fills its skull
The polluted, unhealthy sunset filling the mind
With shadows growing long
Shadows lengthen, symbolizing challenges
Obscuring the way home
Difficulties obscuring the path home
As the poorest among us
The less fortunate using a compass
Pull on a compass
Everyone's misguided truth collapses
And our fool's truth folds in on itself
Sigh of relief confronted with harsh reality
As our sigh of relief
Audible exhale breaks like waves on the beach
Breaks upon the beach
Babies cry without reason
As our bath water babies cry for nothing
Emphasizing futility and despair
A viral voice at the centre of
An influential voice in decision-making
Every choice, a velvet glove
A persuasive but deceptive influence
Finds fine, young shiny cells
Youthful cells bidding farewell
Bidding foul-mouthed friends farewell
Parting ways with crude acquaintances
While love as a finite resource
Love portrayed as a limited resource
Rides a dying dark horse
Struggling against inevitable decline
Pulls a knife from its side
Love resorting to violence
And kills
Destructive consequences
Our collective sigh of relief
Collective relief shattered
As it breaks upon the beach
Breaking like waves on the beach
While the bandaids on our cancers cure nothing....
Ineffective solutions to deep-rooted issues
Fingers in the soil
Fingers in the soil, connecting with nature
Crawl upon me
The earth's essence affecting the person
A sweetness from the vine
Sweetness turning sour within memories
Now rots within the teeth of
Ghosts of past joys haunted by decay
The ghosts of gardens gone
Gardens revived momentarily
That live again one last time
Last reminiscence of a silent spring
A silent spring of mine
After enduring a harsh, unproductive winter
After the loudest winter wasted on...
A teacup metaphorically endures chaos
A teacup survives the storm
Contained within itself
Inside itself
Despite challenges, finding safety within
All the while
In a harbor resembling hell
Safe in a harbour that looks a lot like hell
(Refrain)
