Ecdysis!

The rules of the game have changed Green is colorless and blue Has taken its place And where that light was before Now there seems to be none (Now there seems to be none) The ground used to be made of gravel (Now there seems to be none) And now it's made of a liquid I can't see Things have been turned around Voices telling me that which I shouldn't be And the leaves fly into the air instеad of to the ground And the sun shines at night, thе moon in the day For you're not there when you used to be For you're not there when you used to be On the ground, I see a serpent (Ecdysis) She asks me to help her up and take the skin she's shed Things have been turned around (Ecdysis) Things have been turned around (Ecdysis) Keep me far from you so you may grow (Ecdysis) Keep me far from you so you may grow (Ecdysis) Ecdysis, ecdysis Ecdysis, ecdysis On the ground I see a beetle (Ecdysis) His wings have been chopped by the wind (Ecdysis) He tells me, "Please don't look at them For I'm embarrassed that I cannot fly" I picked him up and threw him from the thousand-mile cliff So he could fly for the rest of his days For they don't live long Is it better to fly or to fall? Is it better to run or come home? Is it better to shed your skin Or to continue treading among those of you own kin?
