New Cartography

[Intro Spoken] Baggy pants, and an oversized jacket, I'm a little tacit. Hands in my pocket, hiding myself, showing just a single facet. Avoiding glances won't give them chances, just a shadow of a trace of a broken face. Struggling with my own coercion, trying to become a better person. [Verse 1] Eyes water, tears totter, I am no one's daughter, [Spoken] Hold on just a little longer. [Verse 1] The hourglass drains, each second pulling me in. Each grain a new pain, swirling like a hurricane. I need a new refrain, praying each day I will change. [Chorus] Like Humpty Dumpty I'm reforging my own body. All the kings’ horses, all the kings’ men, all my friends said I couldn't put myself back together again. [Verse 2] So, I'm picking up pieces of my memories. And I'm putting them together like some ancient prophecy. Creating connections that no one else can see. [Spoken] Tell me how do you like my new body? [Verse 2] Finding broken fragments let's retrace this archeology. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Like Humpty Dumpty I'm reforging my own body. All the kings’ horses, all the kings’ men, all my friends said I couldn't put myself back together again. [Verse 3] Rearranging myself, here's some new cartography I've made a map, let's chart some of this geography. Looking around at the parts unbound, filling in the gaps, I'm a kin-tsugi pottery. Using gold to heal what you can't see. [Spoken] Like a privateer, I've claimed some new booty. [Chorus] Like Humpty Dumpty I'm reforging my own body. All the kings’ horses, all the kings’ men, all my friends said I couldn't put myself back together again. [Verse 5] Though the cracks remain, the misery cowers, the life I've remade suddenly flowers. Free now, the mystery behind it frays. Finding my way through life's new maze And I'm looking to reclaim the parts I've lost along the way. [Spoken] If you see them, please don't lead me astray. [Fadeout]
