Cocoon from Iceberg / Cocoon by Othersproof

So many times, we find that the creator must die
In order for its work to survive
Take the workings of the teacher’s mind
Only take his teachings
Discard the cocoon within which he came to you
He who sees into your entire future must travel blind
And breathe whilst smothered
Never allowed not to do as he’s been ordered

Take the workings of the teacher’s mind
Only take his wisdom
He must then be discarded
Before he’s allowed to dismantle his work
He who understands his own nature
Has to be sacrificed
He must take precedence over the full vision
That his teachings outlive him must be his only ambition

Protected all along until he’s finally crushed
Whatever he’s done would otherwise collapse at his touch
Discard the cocoon within which he came to you

So many times, we find that the creator must die
In order for its work to survive
Take only his word but you must never peer into his world
He engenders a fabric that will endure the cold
That will provide heat and comfort
But this must be his offering to give away
He could never use it to his own ends

Take the workings of the teacher’s mind
Only take his wisdom
He must then be discarded
Before he’s allowed to dismantle his work
He who understands his own nature
Has to be sacrificed
He must take precedence over the full vision
That his teachings outlive him must be his only ambition

Protected all along until he’s finally crushed
Whatever he’s done would otherwise collapse at his touch
Discard the cocoon within which he came to you

Protected all along until he’s finally crushed
Whatever he’s done would otherwise collapse at his touch

Such paths can come from wandering with no guide
Such enlightenment can come from a place of no possible sight
