Michael J Teller - Metamorphosis

I'm sorry that I don't return your calls
I'm sure you think that I don't care at all
I would tell you nothing is farther from the truth
But there are walls that you built and I should not undo
I'm sorry if cutting ties felt too cold
Just remember I'm the one who never let go
Before you judge me take a second while on hold
Consider what I had to do to purify my soul
That's not how this works
It's anything but simple
And I've learned
This is my metamorphosis
Instead of dying I built a chrysalis
So don't be surprised
If I come out the other side
Something more splendid than I was before the night
That you met me
Before you left me
Before I asked you if you would be my bride
So don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
It's probably right about the time for clarity
I've had months of intense introspective therapy
Looking back there's fissures and cracks I couldn't see
But now I see that all this time it had nothing to do with me
You made your choices I made mine
And now we have to live them
It's not theory it's real life
What we do is all we have
This is my metamorphosis
Instead of dying I built a chrysalis
So don't be surprised
If I come out the other side
Something more splendid than I was before the night
That you met me
Before you left me
Before I asked you if you would be my bride
So don't be surprised
If my willingness to die
Is the only thing that's keeping me alive
And all this time
I've been being nursed back to life
The tomb I crawled into was not a tomb at all
It was a chance for me to bloom where I was planted long ago
Amongst the ashes where saints have come and gone to die
And shortly after crawled out from the chambers where they lied
I'm just another vessel
Who's left the world behind
