"Bubble Tea" at Blue State Coffee in Providence, RI

How come we do this to each other?
Paint a pretty picture of things on bubbles
So when the dirty dish hits the sink we explode and form another
Other form of trouble but my former me was double
I have enormous need of subtleties I'd rather be that tea with bubbles
For no reason other than simply cause I see a mystery
Like a tree filling up so sudden in abundance of bumble bees
And sends us off and running neither away from nor closer to each other

I left you standing, wondering if the breaking of your heart
Was really just a plane passing over you or rather thunder's rumblings
Cause a storm's coming... Course it is... It always storms on nights like this
Cause on nights like this the storms they come and go with you
The monsoons you move they move right through and clog sewers too
So that the tears that rush down our faces have no places in which to go to

You're my atmosphere,
You're like a fog,
A surrounding essence drenched in an astounding sense of mystery
A dense and infinite humidity
Please don't release me from your blissful misery
Fistfuls reach to see how much of this thick mist i can fit into these jeans
Then compresses into a liquid sea and seeps into my seams like streams
Confessing high tide extremes with a dream of those beings unseen
The ones I cannot be nor do I have the self esteem to see
When I wake up everyday to a machine-made regime's belief
That each night can't be full of dreams, this they believe
I say we just disguise it with reality, with fallacies, formalities
I'm living life with high beams to see you breathing all around on me
