Cocoon

You're the needle in my veins
You're the smell before the rain
I had never felt the same
I just love all the pain
I'd hate to take you down the drain
These dark rabbit holes of shame
Alice cut herself on your disdain
My name was spoke in vain

My feathers have burned down
You kept the ashes on display
I'm lost without love
I know that I don't belong here
My feathers have burned down
You kept the ashes on display
I'm lost without love
I know that I don't belong here

Watch me change, let it die, as I shed my scales
Break my bones, as I cry, now I'm off the rails
Mutate my innocence now I feel alive
Move the ground, I can fly, get ready to sail
Teleport, say goodbye, the end of my tale
Write my own genesis, now I can survive

Fake happiness never filled my soul's bleakness
So I cut myself on the shards of secrets
I grew a shell to protect my fragile spirit
Gutted my insides to make it seamless

My feathers have burned down
You kept the ashes on display
I'm lost without love
I know that I don't belong here
My feathers have burned down
You kept the ashes on display
I'm lost without love
I know that I don't belong here

Watch me change, let it die, as I shed my scales
Break my bones, as I cry, now I'm off the rails
Mutate my innocence now I feel alive
Move the ground, I can fly, get ready to sail
Teleport, say goodbye, the end of my tale
Write my own genesis, now I can survive
