Centipede lyrics

This is goodbye

Goodbye to all those little crimes

Screaming inside

It 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 all 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

I let them go

Unpinning butterflies

In the hopes they'll come alive

Climb the same old wall

To the top and fall

Again

Can you hear me call

In the hopes they'll all

Come alive

First sign of a locust swarm

A worried mind; a thunderstorm

Wrapped in heaven's 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 vain

No core no poets to feinds the rain

Of hopeless, dreaming, time disturbed

Friends and family, needling curb

Away in your imagined box

The chains on chains and locks on locks

Take hold of the arms of centipede

A hundred hearts and all you need

A marble Venus works in song

As short in love as life is long

Take hold of the arms of centipede

A hundred hearts and all you need

A Venus marble works in song

As short in love as life is long
