lyrics
Metamorphosis:
it’s the process of becoming;
it’s the universal narrative of life.
Skin and hair, friends and fates all shed the same.
And for me, it’s hard to find the will to grow
within this climate of decay.
I repress progress
by idling in fantasies and fears of change.
So just crown me the Prince of Apathy
and let me waste away.
Metamorphosis is just a waste
if it can’t reach its full fruition.
The moth must unfurl its radiant wings,
in order to escape the silken walls
of its self-constructed cell.
I repress progress
by idling in fantasies and fears of change.
So just crown me the Prince of Apathy
and let me waste away.
I stay wrapped in the cocoon
of my apartment, the bars I know,
and bare minimal responsibility.
I wish I could emerge as something more than a failure
in an arrested pupal state.
I know I can’t resist my metamorphosis but, shit,
Mother Nature’s cattle prod can drive a man insane.
I repress progress
by idling in fantasies and fears of change.
So just crown me the Prince of Apathy
and let me waste away.
Let me waste away.
