Cocoon |
| this cocoon, caught in vesuvius' shadow |
| only the ashes remain |
| and i waited there for you |
| why couldn’t you? |
| here we lie waiting for somethig to startle |
| to shake us from gravity’s pull |
| and so the sleeping hours are through |
| what can we do? |
| the sorry conclusion, the low dirty war, it happened before you came to but this is solution, and this is amends |
| the joke always tends to come true |
| but there on your windowsill over the unmoving platoon |
| written in paperback, the view to the quarterback’s room |
| under waning moon |
| this quiet serves only to hide you |
| provide you |
| what i knew (x2) |
| it’d come back to you |
| take this palm, follow the lines here are written |
| tracing the veins and the shapes |
| and feel your fingers falling slack and all folding back |
| the tainted election, the hole in the sky |
| command what is tried, what is true |
| but without solution, with feet on the ground |
| it won’t make a sound 'til you’re through |
| so loosen your shoulderblades |
| this is your hour to make due |
| because there on the timberline |
| deep cold november shines through |
| soft and absolute |
| this quiet serves only to hide you |
| provide you |
| what i knew (x2) |
| it’d come back to you |
