Lungfish — Mud Cocoon

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The river took its water and it left me in the clay
so I dug myself a coffin and I learned to wait and pray
spun a skin of mucus, left a straw up to the sun
shut my whole life down till the dry was done

[Chorus]
In the mud cocoon
I'll wait out the world
call it dead, call it gone
I'll be here when the rain returns

[Verse 2]
Years can pass above me, I don't measure them at all
no food, no light, no movement, just a heartbeat soft and small
you mistook my stillness for an ending in the ground
but patience is a weapon — and I'm the last one found

[Chorus]
In the mud cocoon
I'll wait out the world
call it dead, call it gone
I'll be here when the rain returns
