Chrysalis

Was a storm that washed me ashore
An internal civil war
My soul adrift, my body moored

A lullaby from a cave by the coast
Like a gentle, familiar ghost
Beckons with a steady pulse

And it goes

Shut the blinds and
Hit the lights and run into the dark
A narrow hallway
Like a cave that leads back to the start

Keep having dreams I can fly, till I notice I'm falling
Keep waking up in the night with a light in my doorway

A door closes, a window opens

In this cold, horizontal abyss
A welcome paralysis
My new home, a chrysalis

So I

Shut the blinds and
Hit the lights and run into the dark
A narrow hallway
Like a cave that leads back to the start

Keep having dreams I can fly, till I notice I'm falling
Keep waking up in the night with a light in my doorway

A door closes, a window opens

Yeah when a door closes a window will open
Yeah when a door closes a window will open
