The Island of Misfit Toys - Angelswarm lyrics

When we move on, we hear sounds like breaking cocoons Or pianos freshly tuned, a million new hearts that move in unison We move on like Merrill did when swung Or air from collective lungs, cosmos wallflowers left hung up like stars We're culled from love, it was delicately designed And sewn to our insides; the seamstress might just give us shelter If not, I'll claw from the inside in Through my fleshy coffin lid; whatever is pushing me will push itself out Each layer of skin is etched with text Of every song kept secret Cognitive burns relaying thought through heat An accidental diary When we move on, we'll hear a broad, bright, resonant hum Or a deep, dark, desolate one; I guess it all depends on going up or down When we move on, there's no guest list based on your wrongs Or the crowd you thrived among; I see inflatable castles filled with little bouncing lights When we move on, I'm going to spy so happily On larval versions of me, baby seeds with questions and lit reading lamps And that's why I sometimes stare at your chest And why I won't do well on your test; I'm intrigued to the point of almost losing it See, sometimes I lay in bed and box my ears And shut my eyes with shirts tied And out of interest and concern, I hold my little breath And hope, hope, hope that's what it's not like When we move on
