lyrics

the other day i came upon a cocoon
and poked at it with my baby finger
to see if i
could hear the secret of gettin' by

i kept it all, i hoarded it
to numb the sting of burnin'
at the bottom of the see
it's hurtin'

a butterfly with one wing
a dimpled note, a candy ring
a faux pearl necklace, time itself
my clock is muzzled and i need help

i'm sorry that my open wound
leaked all over your brand new shoes
i never saw it comin'
i never saw you goin'
cyanide in your open eye
open wide, don't you cry
don't you cry
don't you cry

i'll nitpick these prickled specimens
sit alone and be still with them
my thoughts will be a times square ticker
i'll be ok with the remainder
a different sensibility about what is going to be
comb the goose feathers, in the oil's a stir
count the rings in the water
