Butterfly

What do you see? I hope to hell it rains on me Pre-existing stains Around the room I have less in my head Than I want to assume Like a flower in the sun I like to watch you grow I’d give you no water And put on a show You caught me in your trap And tried to tie me up I’d let you kill me slowly Just to make it stop Get out of my head I’ll put it on the table Take me Instead I hope you’ll learn I hope you burn Just wait your turn My sunflower Nothing is selfless Call me a liar and a thief Place your hand in mine I’ll let you fall Don’t count on me Now I don’t need you around And I’ll make you pay For the years of torment Hurt won’t go astray We dance around the sun until we all burn I need to play my part in this so Ill learn I’ll rip you out like a weed I'll take the joy from you While I make you watch I will rip you apart, I’ll fucking rip you apart No one feels what you feel This pains not real My lies were yours transparently If you were mine What would I be? Do you really know me? I’m losing you slowly It doesn’t get worse than this All this commitment But you just won’t get it It doesn’t get worse than this Just wait your turn My sunflower

We endure enough to realise That everything we built will fall and die All my love has left me And since then I haven't been the same I won't be the one to tell you You matter less the less you own The more you are the more you leave behind I didn't want you I knew that I had you My love was see-through I thought that you knew I knowingly used you I didn't need you You have to believe me You have to believe It might be cynical Life’s not a miracle You thought you had it all You thought you had it all I need you All this violence just for silence? How did you think this would end? You tyrant I just don't want to know Nothing changes behaviour faster than pain Put in this world and told that we're the same Is that how hate is bred? Is that how fear is created? I need you

I don't want to stay here In search of perfection You lack direction You should've listened to me Hate is a reflection I just can't give you affection Creeping up and in return I was never really yours to burn We aren't designed to last And we are moving all too fast I told you so just to let it go Not at all to take it slow I don't want to stay here You shouldn't want to either In control I can't pretend I don't want to see your face again In control I can't pretend I'm not yours to defend You should've listened to me I want to let go

I lay my head in line with the rest Bent apart, crooked teeth Sunken deep into my chest Claw away my eyes And empty my head There's one thing I can't forget It keeps me upright in bed People get what they’re worth I'm hoping you will too I've been pulling teeth so I could finally get to you Rearrange my body and turn me into you My life of idols and stone I'll hold my breath till I'm blue I can feel your grip crushing straight to the bone You’re so ice cold You might as well be a clone I can see that you don’t need to be Exposed now we will see I’ll fucking tear my eyes out just to sew them shut Try to take my walls down but I’ll build them up Tell me is it a sin? To kill you now or let it sink in? Do you think you ended me? Have you listened to the words that remain unseen? I know you know who I wanted to be Why do you put this hate on me? I've found the meaning is nothing And living is sad But at least I feel something Although all of it is bad I won't give up myself I know that you will attack If this was all we had I want you to take it back Oh lavender why do you stare? I won't take part I just don't care I'll cry for you and give you my hopes So those around me can tighten the ropes Take a look at my broken fucking hands I lay upon these shadows just so I can hide my head in the sand Or just from you Rearrange me Cut apart my body And turn me into something new My life of idols and stone I’ll hold my breath till I’m blue

He put himself here Just so he could escape He just can’t see here Just so blinded by hate On this journey just unable to find He says “I'm okay” in his mind He carries on out in this open plane With a map of who he was in his brain There's no pretending, he’s lost himself in his eyes He'll just be chasing butterflies “The flashes in my eyes The colours they move like dancers I just can't hold on anymore I won't cry for you I've lost too much time Here's the answer I don't want to know anymore” People see him as he talks to himself Scared to greet him putting plans on the shelf No-one truly gets to know who they are Growing old makes things seem darker Sunflower, carry me home If I feel joy in my heart but death in these bones Sunflower carry me home If I feel joy in my heart then why am I alone? “The flashes in my eyes The colours they move like dancers I just can't hold on anymore I won't cry for you I've lost too much time Here's the answer I don't want to know anymore” Say that you love me Say that you love me Say that you love me Say that you do Say that you love me Say that you love me I just don’t think that I could forget you
