Lyrics

Chrysalis

[Verse 1]

He didn't endure the cutting

I’m waiting for you

Sweet velvet stretching my skin

And I'm still waiting

I found the daylight coming

Don't wake up my senses

Her mind is surrounded by a glass prison

Feel like your shadow

[Refrain]

If one day you find a chrysalis

Break it slowly

If one day you find a chrysalis

Break it slowly

[Chorus]

Watch out

All it does is depress me

Watch out

All it does is depress me

[Post-Chorus]

I’m still waiting

I'm still waiting

Wait, I'm still waiting (Wait)

I'm still waiting

I'm still waiting

Wait, I'm still waiting

Watch out, I'm still waiting

[Verse 2]

Time-lapse, slow motion

Every little second just hit me like a bomb

Flying high through the storm

Won't you share the spot that makes your wings so low? (So low)

[Chorus]

Watch out

All it does is depress me

Watch out

All it does is depress me

Watch out

All it does is depress me

Watch out

All it does is depress me

[Post-Chorus]

You’re coming

And I’m still waiting

And I'm still waiting

Not coming

And I’m still waiting

And I'm still waiting

[Refrain]

If one day you find a chrysalis

Break it slowly (Slowly)

If one day you find a chrysalis

Break it slowly

If one day you find a chrysalis

Break it slowly (Slowly)
