Marina - Cocoon Lyrics

I want my old life back
but its gone.

I've metamorphosed
into a wonky
butterfly

Wings don't work
Feet frazzled
Antemnae jagged

I creep back into
my cocoon
hoping

it's not too
late to
transform.

(Universe, let me off this one time?)

I've been wrapped
in this film
of grey

fot too long.
Every year
since birth
a new layer
has emerged.
So protective

at first, it now
feels like a

curse

Most butterflies get
free at 21,
23

I'm 37 now and
the grey layers
run deep.

Mummy-like, weigh
me down, keep me
buried underground

I've been so scared
you see, to
be free

For free I cause an
earthquake to
other insects.
For the beauty of a butterfly
is seen as a threat to those
who have never truly flown

Never felt clean wind on iridescent wings

Never taste the nectar
that summer flowers bring

So to keep them safe
I ahve kept myself
hidden

(It can't be too late?)
As my layers here thicken
my breath starts
to quicken

And panic stricken,
I sense my structure
closing in

Life watches me pass by.

This cocoon will be
a casket if I don't
start living soon
If I don't escape
this room, so
I start to

wrap my wings on
my honey-combed
tomb

A quiet promise in my
mind: "I will free
myself soon"

Eventually decay
splits
my walls
wide open

The rot has got
me angry
hot

(Becoming a butterfly is not what I thot)

Metamorphosis
awaits every being
in the end

If you don't break your
cocoon soon, life will do
it for you, friend

These days when I see
butterflies float
effortlessly by

I know exactly what it takes
to grow the wings
they need to fly

They make it look so wasy
twinkling mettalic
in the sky

But I know the pain of
changing shape, I know
the exact price

Now I can see to truly
live, parts of me
had to die

To be reborn
again, again
a better butterfly

A quiet promise in my
mind: "I will free
myself soon"

Eventually decay
splits my walls
wide open

The rot has got
me angry
hot

(Becoming a butterfly is not what I thot)
