Caterpillar

I’m falling out
With everything around me now
Losing what I used to be
And I’m over it
They have been to the moon
I’m just a caterpillar dead in my cocoon
Swept by my mind’s typhoon
And I’m all at sea
I wish it could be different
Wish there was no dampness here
Oh we shouldn’t have listened
To the angst and the fear
I had it all
Rivers of gold and forest so tall
But I ran my canoe down a waterfall
Started a wildfire
I wish it could be different
Wish there was no dampness here
Oh we shouldn’t have listened
To the angst and the fear
Here I sit in silence as it's rising at me
And I'm afraid that I'm not taking my chances
How do I know it's light in the horizon that I see?
I've seen questions, but never answers
Darkness to me is only water to the sea
I've only ever heard of drought
I used to be the one with the grandest of dreams
But how can hope keep believing through the war?
