lyrics

I was tops of toes tiptoeing
Inch by inch, I was approaching
Maze of histories before us
I prefer the ones we tore up
Inch by inch, tooth and nail
Please forgive me when I fail

Lacey stems have lost their balance
Fighting words with teeth and talons
After months of careful tracing
Dotted lines and perfect pasting
Words and teeth, I slipped up
Now I'm back to where I was

Perching owls on the wall
Lined up the nesting dolls
All the butterflies are pinned
One by one, outstretched their wings
One by one, no longer two
This is me and that is you

Maze of histories before us
I prefer the ones we tore up
I'll be first to apologize
Still the same, not eye to eye
You've got sour lemons too
Oh i can see a few
One by one, no longer two
This is me and that is you
