lyrics

If I was born
as a nesting doll
would I lose my shell
every couple years
would there one day be
a bean-sized girl
at the center of me
the center of me

If I lose my shell
every couple years
is the me that is left
pretty much the same
a little less
in size and space
more indistinct
in body and face

If I lose my shell
every couple years
will there one day be
an essential me
still hollow inside
somewhat lesser-sized
but at least not made
to come apart

Would the bean-sized soul
look the same as me
but so small like it took
a single stroke
of a painter's brush
to indicate a mouth or a rosy cheek
at the center of me

In mijn centrum
zit een houten ziel
een Matroesjkapop
maar niet bedoeld
als een houten pop
to be opened up
is het hol en klein
but essentially mine

If I lose my shell
every couple years
will there one day be
an essential me
still hollow inside
somewhat lesser-sized
but at least not made
to come apart
