Silence stitched
Lightly, quickly
Sewing me tightly
Into my skin
Blanketing me in
Dewy darkness
It threaded songs
Into my head
When I could again
Open my eyes
The air was no different
But the song had changed
(And new cotton hung from me)
Strange, I never knew
The lyrics of this melody
Lightly, quickly
Sewing me tightly
Into my skin
Blanketing me in
Dewy darkness
It threaded songs
Into my head
When I could again
Open my eyes
The air was no different
But the song had changed
(And new cotton hung from me)
Strange, I never knew
The lyrics of this melody
