lyrics

Once Upon a Caterpillar
By Jane Mabrysmith
© Neatomajick Productions 2019

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
