olivia chaney - dragonfly lyrics
in new york palace
from the 46th floor
i spied a dragonfly
the size of my fist
like the one i’d drawn
carefully as a child
pinned high
in pride of place
on the classroom walls
but the bot boys
of angry youth
burned down my school
father caught flames of h+ll
filled in his archive
i never saw logic behind
collecting reasons why
mother’s wearing old silk dresses
hiding her pretty eyes
always late to pick me up
from the moment she arrives
i look back to see that someone
stolе her time
the bеll brings
a stranger
memories divide
ever+searching
snapshots of our lives
when we are truly safe from ourselves
and the ones we hold too close
oh how i have not lost
my innocence
mother’s wearing old silk dresses
hides those pretty eyes
always late to pick me up
from the moment she arrives
i look back to see that someone
stole her time
an actor’s
on the wrong stage
with imperfect lines
my dragonfly beats its wings
in vain, so high
i hope i don’t loose my lines
mother’s wearing odd priest dresses
hides those pretty eyes
always late to pick me up
from the moment she arrives
i look back and see that someone
stole her time
mother wears old silk dresses
and hides those pretty eyes
always late to pick me up
from the moment she arrives
i look back to see that someone
stole her time
