I built myself a small cocoon To stop my heart from craving you Of sandalwood and vetiver Of silkworm spit and mother's hair The inside made of rosemary The kind that won't bend easily Or break beneath this bane of trust Or turn that awful shade of rust These days, when you wear my skin I feel somehow overdressed I cut my teeth when I broke out And spread my wings to flee the doubt The dust lay stagnant in the air But I have all my back to bare These days, when you wear my skin I feel somehow overdressed These days, when you wear my skin I feel somehow overdressed I built myself, I built myself I built myself, I built myself I built myself, I built myself I built myself, I built myself I built myself, I built myself I built myself
