Keppie Coutts, Maria Alfonsine, Damian de Boos-Smith - Cocoon

The sky outside is a sapphire sea
Whose tide is pulling me out
But the sun and sky and the ocean too
Wrapped up here inside this cocoon

On the busy streets, where my friends walk free
The cars and the buses and people all heave and sigh
It's a bill all just have to wait

Because I'm not going outside today
I'm happy alone with you
Wuzzing hive out there, the world's alive
But our world inside is quiet and still

'Cause we've got important work to do as well
I'm busy alone with you
Wrapped up here inside this cocoon

I've got glitter paint between my toes, behind my ears
In here, we're in a technicolour dream
It's a swirling whirlwind of that doesn't feel quite real
But it might be the only thing that's true

I miss my friends, and the world of men
I admit it, I miss those bastards too

Quiet now-I can feel it move
The chrysalis, like the birth of spring
When we both unfold from our warm cocoon
Will the wings belong to me or you?
