Origami (折り紙?, from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper"; kami changes to gami due to rendaku) is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century AD at the latest and was popularized outside of Japan in the mid-1900s. It has since then evolved into a modern art form. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami. Paper cutting and gluing is usually considered kirigami.
The number of basic origami folds is small, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. The best known origami model is probably the Japanese paper crane. In general, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be different colors or prints. Traditional Japanese origami, which has been practiced since the Edo era (1603–1867), has often been less strict about these conventions, sometimes cutting the paper or using nonsquare shapes to start with.
I am an all powerful amazon warrior
Not just some sniveling girl
So no matter what I think I need
You know I can't possibly
Have a need in this world
Come and come for that sweet sweetness
I'll be your never ending vending machine
I could never need to be alone
Never need to be my own
As much as you need your queen
I know men are delicate
Origami creatures
Who need women to unfold them
Hold them when they cry
But I am tired of being your savior
And I am tired of telling you why
And since when did this me me me
Become the be all and end all of me
Oh listen to you talk to me
Long time love has got to breathe, babe
You got to let it ebb and flow
If you want a ball to bounce
You gotta let it go
Just let it go
I know men are delicate
Origami creatures
Who need women to unfold them
Hold them when they cry
But I am tired of being your savior
These nights I just can't sleep
These walls are paper thin
I just can't take the heat
Something's trying to get in
Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me
I ain't obeying no more
The way I'm bound to break
Took me down to my car
That's all that I can take
I've been folding myself, yeah
I really sold myself
With no escape
I've been folding myself
In little shapes
Trying to please you, trying to appease you
And ended up with ten thousand me's
When you made me say I was ice
Say you were the warmth to thaw me
Now I'm too broke to pay that price
The secret to love
The secret to love is not origami
I've been so many shapes
Since the day that I was born
From ugly duckling to a swan
And now a unicorn
I've been folding myself, yeah
I really sold myself
With no escape
I've been folding myself
In little shapes
Trying to compare, trying to ensnare you
Finally there was no one there
When you made me say I was ice
Say you were the warmth to thaw me
Now I'm too broke to pay that price
The secret to love
The secret to love is not origami
No, no, no
Oh how I miss the exchange
Of electricity
And now it feels so strange
To expose the real me
Ain't gonna fold myself, yeah
Just wanna behold myself
Well, I really mean it
I know I sold myself
Ain't gonna fold myself, yeah
The secret to love
The secret to love
The secret to love is not origami
Origami (or or or ori o or I ga mi)
Origami (or or or ori o or I)
You got a head full of paper, but baby nothing like origami
Shredded thoughts and make up won't make up for the missing piece of mind
I saw you look in the mirror, the scenery was suddenly boring
It's the end of an era
Forever is just a state of mind
You're last of your kind
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
You were blessed with precision so I took you to the beaches of Bali
It wasn't fate but decision, luck was choosing sides
Flip the page to a silver age
Life has treated you kindly
The price you pay is your vision
Collision is highly likely
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
(Origami)
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
(Origami)
I stole your diamonds and gold
White owl
Now the railroad's ending
Cracked iron
'Neath the power line
Fir trees
Growin' a tunnel making
Swept away
Now the birds run these grounds
The trampoline
In the quiet mansion
The black heart
On the dead man's skin
The fountaineer
And the frozen fountain
His right chin
On your pale blue skin right now
Black owls
Up in the ballroom painting
Your silhouette
On the moodham floor
No one here
But the fir trees remember
The coal train
Of the chandeliers
