Butterfly cocoon made of stone
Time flows impossibly slow
Cracks in the granite implode
Raise the stakes of escape
Straitjacket buckled up tight
Breath becoming sharp
Dread is heavy in the gut
But dreams light as a feather
Expanse awakens within
Oceans of being and doing
Subterranean planetary reptilian
Floating inward on a ship
Flotilla of masks abandoned
Level after level plummets
Deep in the magma where it's hot
Discover Earth's molten truth
Life is older than thought
Cyclical journey neverends
Photosynthesis fragment
Chrysalis individuals choose to bloom.

Butterfly cocoon made of stone
Time flows impossibly slow
Cracks in the granite implode
Raise the stakes of escape
Straitjacket buckled up tight
Breath becoming sharp
Dread is heavy in the gut
But dreams light as a feather
Expanse awakens within
Oceans of being and doing
Subterranean planetary reptilian
Floating inward on a ship
Flotilla of masks abandoned
Level after level plummets
Deep in the magma where it's hot
Discover Earth's molten truth
Life is older than thought
Cyclical journey neverends
Photosynthesis fragment
Chrysalis individuals choose to bloom.
