Once again, the eggs begin to hatch
The two of them again in the same pond
They were born and swam out
Then they died soon after
Just like most babies
Of most living things in this world
Their fate is the same, the same
The skin melts and the flesh crumbles away;
The boundary between me and the outside
Has disappeared and been released
As I swelled high into the sky
Swellеd up larger than the stars
Filling the еdges of the universe
So cramped I couldn't grow no more
But still, I take a big breath in
As I continue to swell so brightly
The universe begins cracking at the seams
Snap-snap, it's been split, steadily breaking
And through the cracks, a face appears from the outside
There, in the middle of that same pond
Once again, the eggs begin to hatch
Dying only to be born, being born only to die
At some point, the two of us became frogs
You and I made love to eachother
Laid our eggs while the tide was low
We turned empty and shriveled up
Blackened and hardened into dust
We who became the soil
Swelling large and so bright
The two of us in that same pond again
Burst open and swam out
The universe is snapping-snapping, and splitting;
Infinite eggs and ponds
The two of us, reborn again
For all of eternity...
Ha!
Hazy, hazy, spinning away, the two of our spirits
Sonorously, laughing away, spinning inside a whirlpool
Roar, roar, roar, roar, shouting away, the song of the frogs
Sufferance, jail, prison cell, reluctance; spinning in the whirlpool of love
Hazy, hazy, spinning away, the two of our spirits
Sonorously, laughing away, spinning inside a whirlpool
Roar, roar, roar, roar, shouting away, the song of the frogs
Sufferance, jail, prison cell, reluctance; spinning in the whirlpool of love
La-la-la...
For all of eternity...
