Cocoon Lyrics

This life behind my paper veil
This seed, this flower
This thousand years I wander life
And taste each hour
The suns beyond my insect haze
I barely glimpse
The voice beyond the clattering storm
I long to kiss
Silent voice calling me out
Turning my skin inside out

Sleeping me waiting to bloom
Reaching out
Calling out
From my cocoon
This dim awareness of the day
A life-like dream
Of hovering warm inside the cell
Of your bloodstream
Silent voice calling me out
Turning my skin inside out
Sleeping me waiting to bloom
Reaching out
Calling out
From my cocoon
Slow-motion breath beneath the waves
Beneath this dream on fire
Beneath the fracturing break of dawn
That I desire
Tissue shell
Lithe cocoon
I'll hold you soon
Dream of God
I'm breaking out
I'm waking up
I'll be embraced
And I'll hold you soon
A thousand years
A thousand years
A thousand years
And I'll hold you soon
I'll hold you soon
