lyrics

mayfly insect
i'm afraid to
fly near
your bed, at night

in the drab blue
i creep
near you

my wings they glide
above your face
your eyes
your eyes

aching bones
too far from home
aching bones

i fly away
but time will find a way
to wrap itself around
just like a python snake

i cower in the rain
but it keeps falling down
exchange an empty gaze
like i'm not here right now

there's a hundred doors
which one do i knock
they all look the same
i can't make, i can't make my way
