Stamina

[Verse 1]
I turn into a salamander
Playin' an old computer game
I felt my thoughts becoming grander
A flower bloomin' in a flame

[Chorus]
Why do I keep runnin' out of stamina?
Why do I keep openin' and closin' the doors and windows?
What am I supposed to do with this length of silken thread?
Why is it so hard to go from one thing into another?

[Verse 2]
In my cocoon no one can hear me
It's like I'm singin' in an urn
When I emerge I will see clearly
The glowin' pixelated fern

[Chorus]
Why do I keep runnin' out of stamina?
Why do I keep openin' and closin' the doors and windows?
What am I supposed to do with this length of silken thread?
Why is it so hard to go from one thing into another?

[Bridge]
Do you imagine your condition to be worse than it is?
Do you compare yourself to figures of mythology?
Your metamorphosis must be close at hand

[Chorus]
Why do I keep runnin' out of stamina?
Why do I keep openin' and closin' the doors and windows?
What am I supposed to do with this length of silken thread?
Why is it so hard to go from one thing into another?
