[00:00.00]takin’ my little voyage again.
[00:03.00]thinkin’ back into my childhood land.
[00:06.00]drinkin’ the white milk she forced me to.

[00:13.00]pourin’tasteless white milk into the sink.
[00:16.00]hopin’ that grandma didnt see me doin’ it.
[00:19.00]couldnt drink nothin’ without color in it.
[00:22.00]hatin’ colorless society and provin’ it.
[00:26.00]watching too much t.v for a chinese girl.
[00:29.00]living in a new country called america.
[00:32.00]yes she’s beautiful,she’s got her spacious skies.
[00:36.00]but what about the ugly parts the conquerors hide?
[00:46.00]a bowl of rice is a bowl of memories.
[00:48.00]shovin’ it down our hungry throats.
[00:51.00]a cup of tea is a cup of tears.
[00:55.00]floodin down our thirsty throats.
[00:58.00]so i write a song to keep.
[01:01.00]the memories of you and me.
[01:05.00]it shall keep us warm at night.

[01:47.00]watchin’sisters slice up theirs.who felt inferior?
