an epic on the power of nurture to redefine our nature, for better or worse
lyrics
What's white is sure to fade
What's faded will stay that way
With every quarter fold you calculate
Mother, may I speculate?
Oh mother, may I deviate?
Father, force the folds until I lacerate and stay that way
I've seen the most to say the least
And every fold will leave a crease
I'm telling you now, that legend is not a myth
To all the girls I left behind
The future is what's on my mind
And to future girls, my past is coming with
"Do you know what you've done?" I asked
She answered with a quick pass
She said, "I'm doing it all wrong, but I don't want to change, no"
What's done is done, we've made amends
But you wonder why I'm still tense
Well I'm just holding my breath 'til you pull this shit again
Is it the paper, or is it the folds
That keeps us strong enough just long enough
To keep this bird on course from young to old
Drop your banners, mind your manners, forget what you've heard
You're an escaper
But quick flights and hollow bones are for the birds
We live to fight another day
I'm not walking away, but I got nothing to say
If you want me to break, you'll be waiting a long time
And we've been folded once again
And I got a new shape
And you got a new shape
And we gotta gotta fly away
