This work is a
Am7 D
brutal, emotional handmade
G G/F# Em7
sculpture of beverage packets consisting of
Am7 D
cocoa and tea in a container
G G/F# Em7
adorned with googlyeyes and a Santa Claus
Am7 D
hat. This work deploys transparency that
G G/F#
lends the piece a feeling of
[Chorus]
C D
omnipotent inspection
C Bm Am G D
catapulting the materials from mundane into fantastical

The consumable
Am7 D
nature of the packets is
G G/F# Em7

Am7 D
metaphor for the possibility of
G G/F# Em7
spectacular transformation and
Am7 D
rebirth. The packets are arranged so the
G G/F# Em7
tea sits vertically on top of the
Am7 D
cococa, exemplifying the
G G/F#
grotesque fragility of the
[Chorus]
C D
cocoa's sweet innocence
C Bm Am G D
subjugated by the tea's bitter maturity

The transparent
Am7 D
container of the packets resembling
G G/F# Em7
Santa Claus with googley
Am7 D
eyes, epitomizes dazzling childhood
G G/F# Em7
joy and fantasy of winter

holidays. Together the packets and
G G/F# Em7
container embody a
Am7 D
juxtaposition of juvenile inculpability of
G G/F# Em7
minator maturation into
Am7 D
adulthood. While whimsical on the

outside
[Chorus]
C D
The containers inside
C Bm Am G D
eerily illustrates unsweetened adult responsibilities

C Bm Am G D
and experince supplanting adolescent values and dreams
