anju - cicada lyrics

[verse 1]
wake up to an open window and summer split ends
last night and the cigarette grit, still echoes and bends
i still taste you under my tongue
i don’t want you, but you linger in my lungs
it’s been months now, we’re nearing on november
but sometimes, to fall asleep, i stop to remember
the curve of your cheek
the sp+rs+ly+filled subway car when midnight had passed
giving thanks to the slices of sky as i maze my way back
[pre+chorus]
there in the gate kept garden
across from the alleyway stairs
under the light of the corner store
you tucked a lock of my hair

[chorus]
am i glowing yet? am i going to rain?
i feel a monsoon in my chest
drip to my knees
believing again

[verse 2]
now i’m enveloped in yellow
i still dream i have insect wings
reaching for creatures in make+believe lands
i speak through the worlds that i sing
the bugs below hum to the stars
i keep our new york night in a jar
maybe someday, i will go back
well, maybe it’s best when i dream from afar

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
sometimes i wonder if i’m a cicada
only emerging for moments like these
only knowing how to sing in the times in between
it’s been a long many years underground
i shake my sh+ll, i make my sound
awake to the world, and i’m here to remember aloud
i remember
[pre+chorus]
there in the gate kept garden
across from the alleyway stairs
under the light of the corner store
you tucked a lock of my hair

[chorus]
am i glowing yet? am i going to rain?
i feel a monsoon in my chest
drip to my knees
believing again

[outro]
am i floating yet? are my feet on the floor?
or am i suspended in night?
wings on my back
i flit like a kite
