Caterpillar

I′m falling out
With everything around me now
Losing what I used to beAnd I'm over it

They have been to the moon
I′m just a caterpillar dead in my cocoon
Swept by my mind's typhoon
And I'm all at sea

I wish it could be different
Wish there was no dampness here
Oh we shouldn′t have listened
To the angst and the fear

I had it all
Rivers of gold and forest so tall
But I ran my canoe down a waterfall
Started a wildfire

I wish it could be different
Wish there was no dampness here
Oh we shouldn′t have listened
To the angst and the fear

I wish it could be different
Wish there was no dampness here
Oh I shouldn't have listened
To the angst and the fear

Here I sit in silence as it′s rising at me
And I'm afraid that I′m not taking my chances
How do I know it's light in the horizon that I see?
I′ve seen questions, but never answers
Darkness to me is only water to the sea
I've only ever heard of drought
I used to be the one with the grandest of dreams
But how can hope keep believing through the war?
