When the caterpillar perceives his destiny, the hope for change becomes a need: to shed old skins.

lyrics

I had the cover of a lover
But I was hunger's younger brother
And I was not too young to uncover
A hole in my heart

You had your perfect execution
I was a welcome intrusion
And we had found a perfect solution:
Matching parts

Just like, "Hey you! Come over.
Where have you been?
Come get this itch
Right out my skin!"

We've gotten so intense
But now I'm sitting on the fence
I find I think of you in past-tense
What's my deal?

Well, it's a double-kick
You're feeling double-sick
I guess I'm just a double-dick
And that's for real

Well, you can fix me with a stitch
And you can hold me with a pin
But I'm gonna itch
Right out my skin

I don't know how to rest
Well, I can try my best
But there's this vacuum in my chest
I can't dig out

I want to uncover this hole
But it's beyond control
I fear I might be getting too old
Might die from doubt

Just wanna be like,
"Hey you! Come over.
Where have you been?
But I'm gonna itch
Right out my skin.
