VERSE
Well I see lots of people
Drinking a glass of milk
And a glass of orange juice, capaccino
Very very bad

The forgiveness song

VERSE
F#m
I get angry and I judge, I have principles that will budge
Bm
I am a Pitta
C#m
I am impatient when I see, that no one else gets it like me
Bm
I am a Pitta
Am
The heat and the madness rise, when I get hungry run and hide
Em
I am a Pitta
G
Only when I think I've won, do I see the damage done
Am
I am a Pitta
B
A Pitta

CHORUS
E
But I forgive
                                           C#m
The imbalancing things that I did
                                A
The damage my doshas did
       F#m               B
The diseases that live

I forgive
The sickness that surely came
The illnesses that remain
All of the needless pain
Through which I lived
E

VERSE
When I changed my mind a hundred times, and I was a disaster
That was my Vata
When I didn't finish what I said I'd do, walked away, could see nothing through
That was my Vata
When it was low I couldn't move, I couldn't speak I lost my groove
Without my Vata
I see now all the ideas, my inspirational side
I get from my Vata
My crazy crazy Vata

CHORUS

MIDDLE
Bm               F#m            E
I sought what I thought I needed
Bm               F#m            E
It felt right, so I believed it
C#m           G#m
I fanned the flames
C#m           G#m
I shook the bottle
A               E
I buried myself

The vicious cycle that I repeated
Adding more when I should have deleted
Like making like
Every day, every night
             A                       B
When the cure was the opposite

VERSE
When I was living as if under water, moved around at aimless potter
That was aggravated Kapha
My cloudy mind saw no need to move, I had no mission, nothing to prove
There was my Kapha
But when it went away oh I tremoured, what a dizzy world I had entered
Without any Kapha
I know now the stamina, the power that made me who I am I owe
To my Kapha
My rock steady Kapha

CHORUS

OUTRO
I forgive (x2 Chorus)

(Introduction to) The ballad of Snigdha

Capo 1st

VERSE
G
So the 20 gunas is what it's all about
C
I want to describe each one but time's running out
D
So let's do a deep dive on just one
                 G
Good old Snigdha

Heavy and Light, Cold and Hot
Unctuous and Dry, Slow and Sharp
Stable and Mobile

Soft and Hard, Slimy and Rough
Viscous and Liquid, Gross and Subtle
Cloudy and Clear

Son of the sum (14 urges)

VERSE

Bm

If you suppress the urge

F#m
For a flatus purge

Bm
You can damage your vision

F#m
And your heart

When you need to defecate

But decide to wait

Causes a twisting pain

In your calfs

If you try to hold in

Your body's urine

It can lead to

Urinary Calculi

By inhibiting your burps

Constipation can usurp

Anorexia and tremours

You will see

CHORUS
You're the son of the sum of the things you've done
Avoid aggravating actions

The son of the sum of the things you've done

Simple karmic transactions

You're the son of the sum of the son of the sum of the son of the sum of the son

VERSE

Curbing a sneeze 

Causes headaches by degrees

Neck stiffness 

And facial palsy

While ignoring thirst

Causes deafness at first

Delusions that end

Awfully

Not answering hunger

Will send you under

With the inevitable

Loss of weight

Oppressing sleep

Will send you down deep

With body ache

You can't get across

CHORUS

BRIDGE

C#m
The 14 urges!

Bm
The 14 urges!
F#m
The 14 urges

VERSE

Restraining a cough

Makes a molotov

That will explode in your heart

Or your chest

Holding your breath

Under exercise stress

Leads to tumours 

Or cardiac arrest

VERSE (Strumming fast now)

If you look down with scorn

On the urge for a yawn

Will weaken all your
Sensory organs

By stopping your tears

Rhinitis can appear

Neck stiffness 

And abdominal bloating

Blocking sick

Makes you allergic

Anaemic and promoting

Asthma

Or holding in semen

When it should be leaving

Causes impotency

For a start

CHORUS

BRIDGE
C#m  Bm  F#m
The 14 urges x2

You are the average (balance with opposites)

VERSE
Em G Am
If you're Vata you need Kapha friends
To get stability
See how they live life in slow motion
With no mobility

This is what you need to slow down
Embrace their sober pace
Sandwiched between their strict routines
You can find a kind of peace
Find a kind of peace

CHORUS
Oh man, you are the average
Of the 5 people
With whom you spend most of the time

You are the average
For long life and good health
Find qualities opposite to yourself

VERSE
If you're Pitta don't have Pitta friends
They'll bring out the worse in you
It will become competition as life
As each tries to out do

And if like most you're a dual dosha
You'll need creative reasons
For changing friends like you change your clothes
Have friends for different seasons
Friends for different seasons

CHORUS

VERSE
If you're Kapha seek out Vata friends
To blow away your fog
They'll annoy you with their endless movement
But your congestion will unclog

Pitta friends will give you direction
Melt your body and mind
If you can see past their criticism
It's medicine prescribed
Medicine prescribed

Kapha cantata

VERSE

F

Snigdha means you've built in lubrication

Bf                                                       F

Oily skin and hair you have hydration

C

You'll never get arthritis 

Bf                                        

But you're at risk from bronchitis

F

You need Ruksa

Sheeta makes you a little bit cold

But that’s the reason you get to be so old

Inherently cryogenic

No.1 in eugenics 

But take Ushna

Guru makes you solid and big-boned

Your soul has earned a well-endowed abode

It'll last you a long time

If you treat a like a shrine

And eat Laghu

VERSE

Manda means you're steady in your style

Whatever you want to do will take a while

From chewing through to digestion

You run the risk of congestion

That's why there's Tikshna

Slakshna makes you a little sentimental

Your nature is inherently calm and gentle

Organs well-developed

Skin as soft as velvet 

But you need khara

Sthira makes you stable and unchanging

You don't go in for new things or rearranging

You have an innate talent

For avoiding any imbalance 

If you use Chala

MIDDLE

Some people say you're cloudy

Foggy in the head

Some people say you're damp

The water collects

Some people say you're sweet and salty

It's all about water retention with you
