Monarch 歌詞

Afternoon, when I saw your cocoon hanging silent Won’t be here in the dark of the year when the light’s spent And bent over a misshapen earth Bottled up in a drinking cup, I hold and watch you As the Summer yawns and Autumn blankets my lawn What will time do to you? Restless fingers, clenched fists, now, now, is it time yet? Raising brows, counting down, now, now, is it time yet? And when the Summer lifts And the evenings are brisk, you will turn south And the same turns That the monarch learns from the wind’s mouth Will they lift me? Morning and the dawn of your wings comes too slowly for me You tap and you twist, but your tough chrysalis is still holding, it seems But the trick of the stall is you won’t get out at all without the struggling You’ve got to be strong 'cause it won’t be long till you’re flying And when the Summer lifts And the evenings are brisk, you will turn south And the same turns That the monarch learns from the wind’s mouth Will they lift me? To see the orange ocean with black and white flickered songs The dream of meeting brothers that I have never known Is calling me out The sea of flame and flutter, the yearn to belong The first rip in the darkness, and the sense of my home Is calling me out Yeah, yeah, is calling me out Is calling me out Is calling me out
