lyrics

Cocoon
I'll keep your
secret from the sun
Where your self ends
and we have begun
What you adore
Is what's at the door
What you abhor
Is what's at your core

So hide grows thicker and thicker
Calloused hands grabbing nothing but fingers
Still we crawl hither and thither
Not noticing we're all caterpillars.

Hey you flies
Try this one on for size
Spin yourself a jacket
And fit it for a king
Cut all of the strings and sleep
Where you sing

They can kill me in my sleep
When I wake up
I'll be breathing
My eyes and yours-
Just metaphors
For waking up
For waking up
The wings I make
Will take me home
When I wake up
When I wake up
