lyrics

when the paragon of fist sets sail
he keeps his eyes on the knots he ties
on weather island by the dried up bush
he chews the want in the work for a while

he kicks the pools apart to spend his joy
the day is questioning its means to arrive
he cries his sugar out he's shot from the hill
some joy is undeniable
wake up the boy

it's why you look so tired
it's why you look so tough

trace the ending by the smoke from its tail
and fall into your own trap each day
you're not just fending for yourself this time
and every day you're not closer to clouds

trade my rhetoric for monkish vows
and eat a piece of the mountain outside
i'm sick of sugar and its static fields
some joy is undeniable
wake up the boy

it's why you look so tired
it's why you shield your eyes
can't stay in touch

you're not just fending for yourself this time

when the paragon of fist sets sail
he keeps his eyes on the knots he ties
on weather island by the dried up bush
he chews the want in the work
