Cocooned

Sarah Fimm Cocooned Lyrics
1.Scream

What can you do when the poison in your veins starts to rot?
Pounding doors? They are whores when yourself is all you've got.
But I still see the green, yes I still see that green,
and it makes me want to scream.
So a break in command starts causing flies,
but a flowing backward motion brings it back.
This thing in my perception has left us here to bleed,
and it makes me want to scream.
Rest assured little pigs, You can snort your way into heaven,
I'll assign the rooms, you just count your sheep.
A little fairy pricked just tonight,
she said, 'one wish is granted for the girl who hates the
world.'
So I gave her all my money in a jar of broken dreams,
I gave her all my screams.
So rest assured you little pigs. All little piggies go to
heaven.
I'll mobilize the souls, you just count your sheep.
Is anyone here listening? Human or undead.
Is anger just our nourishment? Our piece of daily bread?
Cause it's all a part of feeling of ripping out your weeds,
And it makes me want to?scream.


2.Sexual Animals

Please come in the back door, Close it behind you,
I won't ever tell them you're here.
Me? I like the trapdoors, the keeping of a secret.
Your affinity for deepness pulls me down.
Sexual animals.
Come inside of me just enough to hurt this body.
I know that you know how.
Come inside of me you know it's exactly what I need.
So careful where you're touching, I'm not ready yet.
What is there to catch you if the safety net has ripped.
Wide-eyed you look me over, unbuttoning my skin.
I take a deep breath in.
Sexual animals.
Crawl inside of me just enough to hurt this body.
I know that you know how.
Come inside of me you know it's exactly what I need.
Your entourage is waiting by the car while I sit here bonding
with some brand new scars.
Lets kiss goodbye, close your eyes. 'Sleep' he said, you're
already dead.
Sexual Animals.
Come inside of me just enough to hurt this body.
I know that you know how. Come inside of me. Come inside of me.

4.After the Blue

The sky she asks for rain, and clouds they start to blend to
one.
And words they seem to move the sun.
So often we are buried by the truth.
We sit here far removed. Wonder what will befter the Blue.
A patient girl she waits as violets start to cringe again.
The hollow moon she starts to bend,
And fractured pieces of her distant youth,
They fly above to soothe a heart that's seen the skyfter the
Blue.
How we like to tread on stars, treating them like stones.
Pretending they are sisters so we do not have to feel alone.
Seduced by friends of compromise I fight to find my nourishment.
Until I do, I'm not content.
For now I wear my sorrow very true.
This life is ending soon, For now I'm settled here.
But when I'm gone I'll come look beyond for you?
After the Blue.


5.Valhalla

Bad men, I sing the song

Valhalla's where I'm waiting.
I watch with loving eyes from far away,
It's where I need you.
In my lullabies of sorrow you remain.
Valhalla's where you're coming, cause here this burning madness
had to die.
My heart screams come to me, but here I can say nothingut
goodbye.
If you're just another soldier, then battle elsewhere please.
But if not tear me from this earth, and take me to your seas.
Cause it's difficult to feel now, and I ache in every bone.
A twisted fate has left us both alone.
Valhalla's where I'm waiting, my devil and my angel too.
For they are joined and show themselves through you.
You lie beneath my skin now, you wear my piece of metal close,
Just as close as I could ever come to touch you there
If you are just a soldier, then battle elsewhere please.
But if not tear me from this earth, and take me to your seas.
'Cause it's difficult to breathe now, can't you hear it in my
tone?
The life in me has hardened into stone.
Until we reach Valhalla, where I'll be your dear Persephone,
Look to shallow heavens and that's where I'll be.
Here I tempt the gallows, cause there this love would be an art.
In Valhalla, I'll be waiting for your heart.


6.Circus Type Thing

Full of this stuff, just waiting for a sign.
Watching the years I am watching?the flowers die.
The spider within holding on by string,
Still I'm all alone hearing this circus type thing.
So ask what I think, I'll tell you I think that it's
frightening.
All of these places to dance and yet we are still.
A weightless improbable force has come to enlighten,
But why should we listen if there's nothing in it to kill?
Often I'm hearing these questions my friend.
You're never quite hearing the sounds,
But thanks for the voices.
These sweet little voices, they follow me all the way down.
It seems that we dream hard for peaches and cream and their
sweetness.
If we are what we eat then why are we not sweet ourselves?
And where's this Arcadian gateway once loved by Pandora?
Did she bring our demise or be true to the nature of self?
Often I'm seeing by goat-footed friend
And often I see him in you
Disguised as a song he campaigns for the end.
But a few were reserved for the truth.
A few were reserved for the truth.
I'm finding no comforting words from the priest, But I've found
that each season can sing.
If she'd survived beyond winter she might've seen the spring,
To see that we all make this circus type thing.


7.Bombay Cafe

I remember our day at the Bombay Caf? when I found out love
ain't enough.
An old man at the bar tossing dreams into jars, said, 'girl he
ain't gonna show up.'
And I stood there a mess and uncertain,
'Till he walked through the break in the curtain.
I said, 'I knew you would come.'
He said, 'I can't love anyone.
Everything I am, and everything I do, just pulls me back to
you.'
I remember our day at the Bombay Caf?my hair getting soaked by
the rain,
And your hand held my own till a river of stone pulled them
apart at the veins.
But we fought it, you know, like the wind fights the snow.
But that's how everything goes.
I remember our day at the Bombay Caf? most other things I can't
recall,
And I can't recall just how I got here today,
Standing right over your grave.
He said, 'I knew you would come.'
I said, 'I can't love anyone.'
Cause I remember that day at the Bombay Caf?
And there can't be another one.


8.Running from the Whole

Mr. Cripple man, do you still feel your hands?
The light you never fill, she's waiting by the door.
While atoms play around, you sit here to obstruct.
I never thought to think that what goes down does not come up.
We're hostage on the gravity train, just when we move forward we
fall back again.
The sharpness of his nail, it hammers down the fold.
In all this time, we're just Running from the Whole.
Enter woman, girl.
Enter to your left, stage right.
The chaos it ensues, beneath the coating of your skin.
Her boa it constricts, the spotlight on a barren soul.
She needn't ask the stars just what it's like to feel star cold.
We're hostage on the gravity train. Just when we move forward we
fall back again.
The sharpness of his nail, it hammers down the fold.
In all this time we're just Running from the Whole.
And when I leave again, I'll cycle through this atmosphere.
Past a marching band of souls, who scrape me with their human
eyes.
A taste of bitter earth, I'll just bring with me a dollar's
worth.
My face burns from the wind and it's time to shed my second
skin.
We're hostage on this gravity train. Just when we move forward
we fall back again.
The sharpness of his nail, it hammers down the fold.
In all this time we're just Running from the Whole.


9.Red Paper Bag

So a red paper bag broke my heart today
No one knows that it came form your hands
The blood is still perched by the third letter form the right
The red paper bag has been tucked away
Safe from supply and demand
but if I dare delight in its beauty I might just keep dying
again and again
So the red paper bag tries to call to me
As I tear drowns an ant on the floor
I suppose it is worse to indulge in a curse than to fight
But I'm just abot dead from this tradgedy
Or am I she says with a grin
I find out what its worth just by finding out how much it hurts
And the state I'm in.
I'll just pu the two corners together
My soul plays a grave for the night
As I bury my head in the pillows he says
Perhaps in another life.


10.Sets Us Apart

I fashioned this ribbon from my own velvet tears.
I melted these flowers just to make you a ring.
Adorned with this madness, you scream in the dark.
Perhaps it is this then that sets us apart.
Your beauty was potent, I choke at the thought.
Your hair streams from ivy, your eyes, crystalline stars.
Your beautiful nightmares, you see them as art.
Perhaps it is this then that sets us apart.
Tied up my veins for that bow in your hair.
And I took blame for pain that was already there.
But when you reach the last stretch you crawl back to the start.
Perhaps it is this then that sets us apart.
Can you feel?
Do you know the shallow ground that holds that beautiful piece
of your heart,
That I never got to kiss? And now all I do is miss,
Those things that set us apart.

12.At Dawn

Random little things keep taunting me,
The rose left on my pillow after you leave.
Favorites turn to monsters as the seasons turn around,
I had no idea I could feel so upside down.
Even now my mirror stands alone,
She nestles closely now up to the sun.
These visions do no good when they are badly drawn,
So when this night is over I will leave at dawn.
My story tells itself as I stand in front of you,
My belly lies exposed for you to chew.
Thunder came in hope to kiss the storm,
Charming as he was I still said no,
'Cause I have nothing but my fists to fight you with,
But this flesh you see is stronger than the bone.
I'm trying hard to sing to the fibers of a man who couldn't see
two people holding hands.
But night has come to pass,
And what I've felt is gone,
And when this night is over I will leave at dawn.
Every cent of suffering I offer now to pay,
If there is mercy, mercy come find me.
Something lovely come alive and find me
'Cause if you don't I might just have to find myself.
Random little things were taunting me,
But now I've got this precious gift from tragedy,
A promise is a promise and I've made one.
The horizon's moving toward me,
I can see the sun.
I can see the sun.
