Lahpet

Lahpet, also spelled laphet, lephet, letpet, or leppet in English (Burmese: လက်ဖက်; MLCTS: lak hpak, pronounced: [ləpʰɛʔ]), is Burmese for fermented or pickled tea. Burma is one of very few countries where tea is eaten as well as drunk. Its pickled tea is unique in the region, and is not only regarded as the national delicacy but plays a significant role in Burmese society. Its place in the cuisine of Myanmar is reflected by the following popular expression: "Of all the fruit, the mango's the best; of all the meat, the pork's the best; and of all the leaves, lahpet's the best". In the West, laphet is most commonly encountered in tea leaf salad (လက်ဖက်သုပ်).

    Hollow

    by: Lefty

    cocked and loaded
    pointed in my direction
    no protection guess your gonna
    hit me with it
    slow implosion
    no one knows what makes it all tick
    guess we're gonna
    burn out trying
    hollow to the core we are
    swallowed
    broken by the mold
    no one knows how we lost control
    no one knows why
    one explosion haunts you slow
    and small it all is a speck of dust
    you'll wipe right off in time
    and when it all ends
    how can you say you never were a slave
    look em in the eye
    and face it
    no one knows
    pointed in my direction
    guess your gonna hit me with it
    pointed in my direction
