lyrics

music and lyrics by Rachel Cox and David First

The moth unfolds its wings
Spanning an arc
Of yellow and green
Polka dots and spark
The air is a swing
Giving lift to

Another new flight on the wind
Follow after the
Bright lights, a mercury trend
And down below

A love takes the stage
Blooming in red
The costume display
Has silver linings that

Glitter so brightly today
But tomorrow
They pale in the still of the shade
Every flower
Will blush till it fades into grey
Please tell me

How does the sun rise?
How does the night fall?
Why does Persephone stay underground?
Why does she stay underground?

The earth is a tomb
Keeping a space
For new seeds to bloom
Rising into a

New world that shudders and quakes
The heart is strong
And the eyes glow, the mouth is agape
And it happens so
Fast that you can't reach the brake
To slow it down

BRIDGE and CHORUS
