I didn't know
while I was sleeping
a caterpillar had crawled into my mouth
across my tung
past my molars
down my throat
and into my heart
I didn't know
how could I know that
a chrysalis had formed inside?
and when i felt
my heart was breaking
it was the curling, unfurling wings
of the butterfly
I didn't know, I didn't know
how could I?
I didn't know that I was changing inside
I didn't know, I didn't know
how could I?
but you were always there for me
even during strange times
and when I'm dreaming
I'm drinking the nectar
I'm drinking the nectar
of echinacea
when I'm sleeping
I'm drinking the nectar
I'm drinking the nectar
of echinacea
I didn't know, I didn't know
how could I?
I didn't know that I was changing inside
I didn't know, I didn't know
how could I?
but you were always there for me
even during strange times
I like to imagine this is what it sounds like when a bunch post-apocalyptic emo environmentalists escape to the woods for a rejuvenating drum circle. But awesome. Jesse
