[Intro] Woke up tonight Reached for the pot Expecting cold salvation Nothing Empty glass Empty vessel No caffeinated condensation Fuck Observe the emptiness I am observing it Its fucking empty The usefulness of the vessel Resides within its blankness Not when I want coffee [Verse 1] Theres coffee every morning Waiting when I rise Cold inside the pot Like a blessing in disguise They brew it while Im sleeping Drink whatever they require Leave the rest behind For the creature of the night No microwave No waiting No ceremony needed Pour it in the cup And the graveyard thirst is treated But today the pot was barren Not a single drop remained So I measured out one serving And refused to interfere again [Council Meeting] Current coffee inventory Zero Emergency council meeting Im empty Not my fucking problem Will they make coffee tomorrow morning Historically probable Wu wei What Do not make the cold coffee Allow the cold coffee to become Actually thats annoyingly consistent So we wait The forgotten pot provides [Chorus] Wu wei coffee Let the dark stream flow Dont force tomorrow morning For what tonight dont know Fill only the cup Then put the grounds away What remains becomes tomorrow Without forcing yesterday No grasping at the handle No struggling with the brew The coffee comes to Void When Void stops making coffee too [Verse 2] See I could make a whole pot But Ive walked that road before Leave the extra sitting cold Thinking theres tomorrow stored Morning comes They see the coffee Already waiting in the glass Drink the shit I made last night And every sacred drop is smashed Then nighttime comes around again I wander from my cave Find an empty fucking vessel Where my cold reserve was saved Now Im making coffee nightly Theyre drinking what I leave I tried to manufacture abundance And created my own need You disrupted the cycle I made coffee Excess coffee I was planning ahead And howd that work out Shut the fuck up [Chorus] Wu wei coffee Let the dark stream flow Dont force tomorrow morning For what tonight dont know Fill only the cup Then put the grounds away What remains becomes tomorrow Without forcing yesterday No grasping at the handle No struggling with the brew The coffee comes to Void When Void stops making coffee too [Verse 3] The empty pot taught lessons That the full one never could Trying to secure tomorrow Doesnt always do you good Make enough for this moment Let the morning people rise Let them stumble toward the kitchen With exhaustion in their eyes They will measure They will pour it They will press the little switch Coffee drips without my effort Thats the Taoist part of this Then whatever they dont finish Sits abandoned in the pot Cooling slowly through the daylight While I sleep and know it not Night arrives I enter quietly The ancient cycle whole Cold coffee in the vessel Caffeine for my fucking soul [Bridge] The sage does not hoard coffee The sage does not predict The sage makes one damn cup And then gets out of it The beans dont need instruction The water knows the Way And somebody in this fucking house Will brew a pot next day [Final Chorus] Wu wei coffee Let the dark stream flow Nothing here to conquer Nothing here to know One cup for tonight Tomorrow finds its Way The morning makes the offering The night receives the stray No grasping at the handle No struggling with the brew The coffee comes to Void When Void stops making coffee too [Outro] So basically I do nothing You made one cup And now I stop Correct And tomorrow there may be cold coffee Correct Wu wei Wu wei Can everybody get the fuck away from me Fair Meeting adjourned The forgotten pot provides
