[Verse]

I only follow my heart, I realize after esoteric remarks 

Making everything cliché, I so badly wish I were a Shaolin monk

If only I followed my head, I wouldn't crawl back to monasteries red

Tangled up in arteries, crying over flies in the pool

And not the cocktail sunset

Oh, every Buddhist's my type, I notice after revelations; mai tais

Making everything with haste, I'm a mixologist and ascetic guy

If only I followed my gut, no part of my kāṣāya would have been cut

Tangled up in silk chiffon, crying, I'm trying to be cool

But the truth is that I'm not

I'm not 

I'm not
