Cocoon

(album: Paint My Bedroom Black - 2023)

Are you free tonight to watch The OC?
This is protocol, I need you here beside me
I've been paralysed for more than a week
But don't let it scare you, this is fairly routine

Soon I'll break out this cocoon and take the car out for a drive
We'll play cassettes, share cigarettes out in the half-light
Maybe I'll blossom into something you might like
Li-da-di, li-da-di, li-da-di

I'm just going through something, uh-huh
I'm just going through something, uh-huh

Are you free tonight to help pass the evening?
We'll drink our bodyweight 'til we forget our feelings
I'll be swimming in the pools of your fragrance
When you're in proximity I'm totally weightless

Now I've become a taxidermy version of myself
The laundry's piling up, the plants are dying on the shelf
You said you'd give me both your kidneys if I cried for help
Like, Jesus Christ, calm down

Soon I'll break out this cocoon and take the car out for the night
We'll play cassettes, share cigarettes out in the half-light
Maybe I'll blossom into something twice as bright
Li-da-di, li-da-di, li-da-di

I'm just going through something, uh-huh
I'm just going through something, uh-huh

So don't you keep me on your mind another minute more
Don't you keep me on your mind

Are you free tonight to watch The OC?
This is protocol, I need you here beside me

I'm just going through something, uh-huh
I'm just going through something, uh-huh

I'm just going through something
Going through something, uh-huh
