[Verse 1]

Earthy, sturdy, stubborn, dirty

Friends of the trees

Wind is soaring, blowing, brushing through the leaves

Water flowing, calm and serene

Around the rocks, maneuvering

Fire burning, glowing, overtaking everything

Through the steam, I can see

Coexisting, coexisting

Why do we put others down? I spend all my time lifting

All of life runs in a circle now

The circle of life consisting of shifting personalities and towns

You affect everyone around you somehow


[Hook]

Through the steam, I can see

Coexisting

Through the steam, I can see

Coexisting


[Verse 2]

Plop, squat, droppеd right onto this earth

Taught lessons from birth

But my consciousness was hеre first

And, I mean, what if I wanted to be a bird?

But no luck for you, man, you're fucked

You'll stay one for the rest of your life, go to class

Who cares if people like you? You're here to pass

Keep your head down on your paper

Let your mind wander later

Put these numbers in the calculator

Can't give a fuck about any haters, yep yep!

Yin and yang, yin and yang, that's a keeper

Like in the grey area that is life

No, nothing is just black and white

Nothing is just black and white


[Bridge]

We fear what we don't understand

And humans have defense mechanisms

That create prisons in our minds

A good person can be hard to find

Purity checked behind bars, confined by the times

Stick your leg through life's so-so-so-societal strife

Nothing is just black and white

No, nothing's just black and white!


[Verse 3]

Wh-Wh-Wh-White: The absence of all color

Black, being every single color

We see in color

No need to think on a spectrum of just "all or none", because

There's something in-between, and that thing's fun!

And that thing's love

There's something in-between, that's everything good

So let's embody the rainbow, just as we should

Uh!


[Interlude]

Girthy, husky, chunky, chubby, let's get healthy

Skinny, twiggy, lanky, curvy, let's get wealthy

So many labels

For some simple vessels

None of it matters, so I mean what I mean


[Verse 4]

What if your green was my pink and my purple was your red?

Would my sight be a lie, and yours rein true instead?

Rein true instead

You catch me on a lure and ask me to relax

But this is not my home, I'm a fucking fish!

And fish will swim

And birds will fly

But environment doesn't prove who's the better guy, no!

Go, go

Coexisting, coexist

They live off the earth, and we drink from fountains

We each have unique lessons, from the pavement to the mountains

Mountain


[Outro]

This is only the earth, a melting pot of energies

Any second, I feel like I'm gonna go crazy

And, through the steam, I can see

I can see

This is only my mind, a teapot bubbling

Any second, I feel like I am gonna scream

And, through the steam, I can see

I can see

Coexisting
