Larval Memories Lyrics

Slowly ever so slowly

The caterpillar will feel

Something new

Timid it is so timid

Every day it yearns

For no change

But on the inside

It wants to fly

Living its life was given

By flying beasts

That have inspired it

All day it yearns for a way

To become like the gods

It worships so

Its friend is time

It has the blueprints needed

When it finds a tree so big

That's what's needed

It will become

Strong as any mountain

It grows it rests and it shows

Just how the biology

Takes its course

Cocoon inside the cocoon

Its mind is blank

And only time's to thank

Oh she's sweet

She just knows how

To build a new life

Using just her knowhow

It will become

Strong as any mountain

Don't shiver my weary friend

My god's on my wings

Breaking out of my own world

Constructed by my own fate

Remember me when I am far

I simply can fly

Away from all of my fears

My mind is clear as a lake

Passive its mind turned passive

Its memories will meld

Then fade away

Cycles it changed in cycles

Its pleasure ebbs and flows

Without delay

And the fear of death

Is now lodged inside
