I'M WRAPPED INSIDE A HARD CONTAINER
AN EMERALD GREEN, SILK COCOON
OH CAREFUL HOW YOU TOUCH THE GOLD CRESTS
EYES WILL COME UPON ME SOON

CHORUS

OH I'M GREEN, THE GREEN COCOON
WELCOME TO MY INDIGO ROOM
OH I AM GREEN BUT SOON I'LL RISE
A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY

KNOCK ONCE OR TWICE, I CAN'T ANSWER
SEE MY VEINS, A FANCY GOWN
WATCH MY HEART COME TO THE SURFACE
IF YOU TURN ME UPSIDE DOWN

YOU SAY NOW, I'M COLD AND SMOOTH
BUT UNDERNEATH IT'S NOT THE CASE
I'M FULL OF COLORS, HOT AND FRAGILE
PRETTY LACE, A STAINED GLASS FACE

CHORUS

WHY IS YOUR LOVE, A SILENT DISEASE
WEAVING WEBS OF PAIN ON ME
TILL I'M BLIND AND I DON'T SEE
WHO I WAS SOME DAY MEANT TO BE

I WAS ONCE, SOMEONE SPECIAL
I DON'T KNOW WHO I'VE BECOME
I'VE SWALLOWED SO MUCH PAIN IT'S RUNNING
PURPLE THROUGH MY BLUE, BLUE VEINS

CHORUS
