Cat’s Cradle (Iris) Lyrics by Hannah Epperson

SLOWDOWN

2018

Open your eyelids wider
She's sitting right beside you
Cat's Cradle with our tongues
Don't tell anyone
Breath makes ghosts at dawn
Tear the classroom curtains down
Make a nest for us to sleep
I'll stay awake and think

Fold your broken words into
My hands opened wide for you
Tear drop, tea in thimbles
Memory's stupid ripples
Simple song and simple girl
Simple story and simple world
Run away to someplace new
Simple, stupid point of view

I opened my eyes wider
I'm standing right beside you
Cat's Cradle with our tongues
I won't tell anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone
