Cassandra says of the track: “Michelangelo is a song about being in limbo. It’s the first song I wrote for the album & it never had a chorus that feels fitting, because the song never really arrives at any grand conclusion. It’s a bardo, and there’s so much rich information in that in-between sp...
[Verse 1]
I'm a three-legged dog
Workin' with what I got
And part of me will always be
Looking for what I lost
[Verse 2]
There's a fly around my head
Waiting for the day I drop dead
My DNA looks pretty strange

[Verse 3]
You're a virus and you come back
At the first sign of weakness
Treatable, not curable
And I'm building up a resistance
[Verse 4]
I wanna be the blank white screen

In the age-old tale I've been living
Since I was young, far too young
To know the role I was given
[Verse 6]
I'm Michelangelo
And I carve myself out of marble
When I don’t know how to grow
Flowers out of arrows
[Outro]
I'm a three-legged dog
Looking for what I lost
