Lyrics
Once Upon a Caterpillar
Useless skin withers in the sand Serrated knife falls from my hand The heat of the sting burns As the vespa's wing covers
The collective mind Veiled like a bride before me. Are we ready? Cause it's time to be married, To graduate life: Once upon a caterpillar, Now a butterfly.
Some people call it dying But it feels like rain Cause we never stop crying On the existential train Some people call it trying And we'll be here again Cause we never stop flying On the existential plane
What is me, is you
What is you, is me
We design our lives
With the thoughts we think The thoughts we drink The thoughts we speak
