Centipede

This is goodbye

Goodbye to all those little crimes

Screaming, inside

I ain't enough to turn the tide

Just so

I let them go

Unpinning butterflies

In the hopes they'll come alive

Alive

Foolish, I know

The bread crumbs all were devoured

After charades

I love the way you wear your face

Just so

I let them go

Unpinning butterflies

In the hopes they'll come alive

Climb the same old walls

To the top and fall

Again

Can you hear me call

In the hopes they'll all

Come alive

First sing of a locust swarm

A worried mind, a thunderstorm

Wrapped in heavens knowing view

The eye of a needle few get through

I saw you sitting in your room

Weaving plans in sorrow's loom

Solace chatter deal in van

No core, no poets, to face the rain

Of hopeless, dreaming, time disturbed

Friends and family, needling curbs

Away in your imagine box

The chains on chains and locks on locks

Take hold of the arm of centipede

A hundred hearts and all you need

A marble venus works is song

As short in love as life in song

Take of the arm of centipede

A hundred hearts and all you need

A venus marble works is song

As short in love as life is long
