The idiot inside has been feeding after midnight
The newborn is stirring, the gateway is opening wide
And I hold her tight, as our hearts divide
I feel her yearning in vain as she claws at the light
It’s beautiful
In a world so small
As we swim in a womb where the fluid is constant and warm
Our spirits thrive
And we’re intertwined
As we swallow water together and neither one dies.
The idiot inside blinks two amniotic eyes
But I’ll shed my cocoon if you promise to stay for a while
We’ll unify, and we’ll harmonise
You laugh like a child, myopic, and so then am I…
Spinning above you
A planetary refuge
The stars are suspended on wire, they’re revolving above you.
It’s a place you return to
Where everyone loves you
The cradle will act as a shield against all that you’ll go through
It’s beautiful
In a world so small
Our home is a womb where the fluid is constant and warm
Our spirits thrive
And we’re intertwined
We’re swallowing water together but neither one dies.
As the court indicts
Your soul ignites
When your fingers interlock mine, I forget what it’s like
We’re twisted kites
And we burn so bright
As the jury decrees, the defendants are all but resigned
We’re twisted kites
And we burn so bright
As the jury decrees, the defendants are all but resigned
As the jury decrees, the defendants are all but resigned…
