Cocoon Lyrics - Assemblage 23

Even though I know it's only chemical 

These peaks and valleys are beginning to take their toll 

Try to convince myself that all it takes is time 

But the most derisive voice I hear is mine 

It opens all the scars on me 

It leaves me shaken in my belief 

It takes my hand just to drag me down 

It makes me a stranger in the crowd 

CH 

Give me isolation just for now 

I feel a hard rain coming down 

I promise that I will be back soon 

But for now I'll return to my cocoon 

There is thunder in the distance and the sky grows gray 

There is lightning in the clouds in search of prey 

It's not a matter of if as much as when 

The clouds will break and the rainfall will begin 

It opens all the scars on me 

It leaves me shaken in my belief 

It takes my hand just to drag me down 

It makes me a stranger in the crowd 

(CH) 

Cracks in the chrysalis spread out like tiny snakes 

That hiss a litany of rumors and mistakes 

But I'm afraid their cause is fraught with futility 

There is nothing more that they can take from me 

It opens all the scars on me 

It leaves me shaken in my belief 

It takes my hand just to drag me down 

It makes me a stranger in the crowd
