Cocoon
from Desert Butterflies by Yossi Sassi
lyrics
You've come this far just to be a shell,
It's only a coil, the place where you dwell,
Why won't you wake up, see and smell?
Outside there's beauty, warm rays of light,
I know you're scarred, and maybe you're right,
Can you imagine that first flight?
You're breaking that heart, yes its true,
You're fighting the things that I knew,
You're letting your dream slip through.
This golden cage of yours, comfy enough,
Inside you're soft yet they think you're rough,
Don't let them think that you're not tough.
Even the sands can't hide,
You're almost there, one stride,
after you've tried & tried.. open wide...
You're breaking, you're out, yes its true,
You're fighting the things I once knew,
You're letting your dream to shine through
It's only a coil, the place where you dwell,
Why won't you wake up, see and smell?
Outside there's beauty, warm rays of light,
I know you're scarred, and maybe you're right,
Can you imagine that first flight?
You're breaking that heart, yes its true,
You're fighting the things that I knew,
You're letting your dream slip through.
This golden cage of yours, comfy enough,
Inside you're soft yet they think you're rough,
Don't let them think that you're not tough.
Even the sands can't hide,
You're almost there, one stride,
after you've tried & tried.. open wide...
You're breaking, you're out, yes its true,
You're fighting the things I once knew,
You're letting your dream to shine through

I love the whole album, every track somehow leads to the next, making it a wonderful unit, worth listening from beginning to end and then again. Actually, I can't make up my mind whether 'Hollow' or 'Misguided' is my favourite track as I love them both! And all the rest...

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection.
