Lepidoptera

Liner Notes
First time collab between me and @tippyteapot! I really dug the fun songs she was writing this Fawm, and wanted to be her virtual backing band for something. She sent me this tune way back in the first week of February, then life started life-ing and it was almost lost to time. But it survived after all, so here it is! It was a lot of fun.

Lyrics
I’ll take it once or twice cut virtue with untamed vice food for a fool to eat sugar to keep it sweet
I’ve done this thrice or more papered an exit door nectar to drown a queen what a pretty amber sheen
I’m rainbow, I’m grey, I’m goth a candied death’s head hawkmoth raiding honey from the bees chasing cocoon dreams
had it all been foretold? ephemeral, nocturnal fortnight or half a life? live fast and seek the light
I’m rainbow, I’m grey, I’m goth a candied death’s head hawkmoth raiding honey from the bees chasing cocoon dreams
well, it’s one for the lovers and it’s one in the lawyer’s hand two for the tears we wept and the vows we kept three for the stitches, four on the floor, five for the scars that don’t hurt anymore six-six-six-six-seven, all demons go to heaven eight, nine, ten and a half eleven, I’m all of a flutter, tattered and ashen
rainbow, grey and goth; candy twilight moth lepidoptera I’ll be your lepidopteran
I’m rainbow, I’m grey, I’m goth a candied death’s head hawkmoth raiding honey from the bees I’ll be your lepidopteran lepidoptera
This rocks! So fun to hear your voice, Tippy, in this context.
