Half-Baked Tofu - Painting Comets (feat. Drew Henriksen, Owen Hite & Kutter Reddan) Lyrics

What we need is more life
What does that mean?
Is this some sort of follow your dreams bullshit?
Hardly
Cause we often think life is that thing where
There's not enough money
Not enough time
We're not close to family
Everything is grays
Nothing black and white
Struggle struggle burn and die
I disagree
That's death
Damned as it feels
Damned as we may be
Death is not in life
Life is in death
And there is some sort of good in this suffering we get
Ill put it like this
The boat is sinking and we are smoking cigars
Drinking bourbon
And our folding clothes despite knowing we will be under water in ten minutes time
You and I are scribbling out the last of our dreams and heart on paper lines
And there we find that life is about putting love letters in bottles
Regardless of whether or not the tide comes in time to take it to where we want
What matters is that the feeling was expressed
That freedom
That will
That's human life
To move towards something beautiful
To paint the comet as it comes into the atmosphere
And the water will come up through your ears
And up to your eyes
And you close them
And think about your time here
And if feel you deserved it
You might just accept your death
But if you don't
If you think you are small and the universe is large
You might take about puff
Brush another stroke
And laugh it off
And if it's not the end
You just might conquer the stars
