Butterflies
You gave me butterflies, but they're
Caught in my throat.
Wanted to call after you, but i
Started to choke.
You took my silence as an answer,
Instead of fear's loudest song.
I'm exhausted between desire and
The pain it brings along.
I'll plead for a reset or maybe a respite
As safety wrapped me in regret.
Nowhere I can rest a war torn head
Cause I won't get back up again.
You'd say I'm not atlas.
At least let you have this weight for a while.
But I'm collapsing, counting on air to
Catch me like it never has.
And I'll be coughing up butterflies again
Cause I can't lean on anything but my
Well worn sins.
We'd take it day by day but today's already too much.
Why would I try again when I think that I won't be enough?
The fear of the past is greater than that of being alone.
And I don't want to learn how to split my soul.
I'll plead for a reset or maybe a respite
As safety wrapped me in regret.
Nowhere I can rest a war torn head
Cause I won't get back up again.
You'd say I'm not atlas.
At least let you have this weight for a while.
But I'm collapsing, counting on air to
Catch me like it never has.
And I'll be coughing up butterflies again
Cause I can't lean on anything but my
Well worn sins.
Can't drink you down with no chaser.
Don't know what I would do afterward.
When I'm alone I'm at peace, but loneliness
Keeps interrupting.
Divided between having you and facing me.
I'll plead for a reset or maybe a respite
As safety wrapped me in regret.
Nowhere I can rest a war torn head
Cause I won't get back up again.
You'd say I'm not atlas.
At least let you have this weight for a while.
But I'm collapsing, counting on air to
Catch me like it never has.
And I'll be coughing up butterflies again
Cause I can't lean on anything but my
Well worn sins.
Caught in my throat.
Wanted to call after you, but i
Started to choke.
You took my silence as an answer,
Instead of fear's loudest song.
I'm exhausted between desire and
The pain it brings along.
I'll plead for a reset or maybe a respite
As safety wrapped me in regret.
Nowhere I can rest a war torn head
Cause I won't get back up again.
You'd say I'm not atlas.
At least let you have this weight for a while.
But I'm collapsing, counting on air to
Catch me like it never has.
And I'll be coughing up butterflies again
Cause I can't lean on anything but my
Well worn sins.
We'd take it day by day but today's already too much.
Why would I try again when I think that I won't be enough?
The fear of the past is greater than that of being alone.
And I don't want to learn how to split my soul.
I'll plead for a reset or maybe a respite
As safety wrapped me in regret.
Nowhere I can rest a war torn head
Cause I won't get back up again.
You'd say I'm not atlas.
At least let you have this weight for a while.
But I'm collapsing, counting on air to

And I'll be coughing up butterflies again

At least let you have this weight for a while.
But I'm collapsing, counting on air to
Catch me like it never has.
And I'll be coughing up butterflies again
Cause I can't lean on anything but my
Well worn sins.
