[Verse 1] Each encounter leaves a bigger mark On my trembling heart As a dying thing I live only to die again Every kind of travesty that could befall an earthly beast I endure I live, I die I live again [Interlude] [Verse 2] Once I saw you shiver as a filament within globe I will wait, you will grow I can be so patient Even then you are ferocious Even then the hoard is scattered by Your [?] mandibles And thousands of tiny eyes [Interlude] [Verse 3] Then I saw you swimming through a sea of rotting body parts It's good to see you're practicing You got to get used to it Got to get used to d**h Got to get used to k**ing Got to get used to ripping limb from torso So to s** the ruby juices [Chorus] Dragonfly, Dragonfly Are you happy underwater, dragonfly? Are you happy on the bottom? Oh the arrow knot should be in the air But nobody will love you when they see what you can do Feel the shadow's sun Join the sky's great tradition Call it what you will [Verse 4] Now that you have left the water Keep on climbing, keep on climbing! I remember it was frightening I remember it was dry Look out for the mammals! Look out for the birds! (Look out! Look out!) Crushing jaws of vertebrates They will get you where they can [Chorus] Dragonfly, Dragonfly Are you happy underwater, dragonfly? Don't be happy on the bottom Oh the arrow knot should be in the air But nobody will love you when they see what you can do Feel the shadow's sun Join the sky's great tradition Call it what you will [Interlude] [Bridge 1] Son, this happens only one time Be careful, do it right [Bridge 2] Breathe in as far as you can go Pull your shoulders into your chest Split the skin down your back Pump Blood into that little satchel You've been carrying around underwater Carrying around on the bottom Now you understand, Now you'll understand This is what you were born for This is why you were born! As far as you can go! Pull your shoulders into your chest Split the skin down your back Pump blood into that little satchel You've been carrying around underwater Carrying around on the bottom Now you understand [Outro] Fly then genocide Yes, the swift destruction of some hated people But those living things, they die Only to live again Our bodies fail But our family endures To live, then die Then live again And now that you are dead It's time for you to live again It's time for you to live
