Origami

Origami

A Poem by cyanide&cellophane

Paper airplanes, paper airplanes/ 
Paper skin, paper friends, paper houses that we all live in/ 

a little rain comes and goes again/ 

and we all melt cause we're paper thin/ 

thin, thin here we all fall/ 

Paper machete your ceilings and walls/

 they all cave in/

 and we're all cravin'/ 

Paper hands to hold, paper hearts that never fold/ 

cause I know so many people that bled ink and wrote in love a way to spell home/ 

home, home, home is gone/ 

construct aqua ducts to make the tears stop/ 

cause if they don't stop, then your words are gone/

 if your words are gone, and all is lost/ 

then searching for yourself may bring about a cost/

 a cost that causes so many people/ 

to rip themselves or find words in a steeple/ 

because people think they're not paper thin/ 

and people hate their paper skin/ 

Paper people want to start again/ 

but the ink doesn't come out of their paper skin.

Origami fold me up/ 

turn me pretty, pretty please/ 

the petty is the prettiest, and the pettiest are pretty pleased/ 

 etiquette is eloquence, and the elephant in the room is me/ 

pretty petty people putting pitousness in paper seams/

 but these origami birds are never folded as they ever seem/ 

flightless, I am flightless/

I am mindless/

 I am, different depending on my symmetry/

 flightless, I am flightless/ 

I am mindless/ 

I am, not your play thing
