Fair Trade Lyrics

The coffee smells like wild cherries this morning

The other half of a pact to try again has left

Kissed my head and exited before the sifting

Aromatic blend begins to set

I offered all the best of what I cooked last week

But the working day is breaking fast, you waved goodbye

When caring was a currency, we paid the cost of giving up

When silence was a felony, I did my time

Second chances, silver line 

A glancing blow, swinging wide

Undeserved and undefined

Understanding why

The well-acquainted pressure of a coming headache

Pull out my ponytail and caffeinate me quick, another pick me up

To repopulate my brain with serotonin

A rewarming of the pot, my heart a microwaving cup

Second chances, silver line 

A glancing blow, swinging wide

Undeserved and undefined

Understanding why
