The Monastery Lyrics

Hello friends, we are the Tree Monks. I got a tree beard and beers getting

Drunk. Now where the leaves hung, that's where I'll be son. Til I plummet

From a drum hit to a tree trunk. Hurt in each lung, become be calm. Traffic

Backed up in the road where it leads up. Try to battle my ignorance and

Learn from it, try to battle for better days on each summit.

Cause I was born on the mountain top. Where down below me so many rot. And

It taught me how small I was, but not to stop until the rest climbed up.

Not to heaven ain't a place for me, but in the night when there's stars to

See. Not in the streets where the view be skewed but in the trees where the

Truth can rule.

(chorus)

So don't call if I don't come back

Cause I don't know if I know the next place I'm at.

And don't try to lecture me please

I'm waiting on the rest of me.

(Nick)

They sold it I bought it, They painted rocks and I copped it, Paved roads

To God and I fought it, Came close but hopped on a rocket ship. The beauty

Is scary and very skewed In various precarious views. It makes Aquarius

Blues, it makes hilarious news, And converting to eternity hysterically

Cruel. But do you, I promise not to preach, Just please seek the roots to

Who’s got the leash, And who bought beliefs and who taught the weak. Who

Went to war with who brought the peace? It’s you it’s me, it’s booze for

Cheap It’s everything that helps illusions breathe So release and be free.

(chorus)

So don't call if I don't come back

Cause I don't know if I know the next place I'm at.

And don't try to lecture me please

I'm waiting on the rest of me.
