Butterflies

Swallow purple terror candy Don't forget to breathe Sickened by the wanting And drowning from the need This dichromatic vision Of one who does not care To sipping cocktail sedatives Two months to hide somewhere Butterflies, butterflies Cut the stomach out and hand it over Butterflies, butterflies My heart will be the bridge that you walk over The wolf has caught the chicken And now I feel unsteady Emotions on the blink again So kick me when you're ready Here lies a violet coffin The death of my control Along with all my skeletons They put them in the hole Butterflies, butterflies Cut the stomach out and hand it over Butterflies, butterflies My heart will be the bridge that you walk over Sickened by the notion I give myself again Choking on the bullet, the gun that's found a friend So raise your glass to sorrow And drink to all the pain Tie a silver ribbon around The pieces that remain Butterflies, butterflies Cut the stomach out and hand it over Butterflies, butterflies My heart will be the bridge that you walk over --- Butterflies - Natalie Imbruglia
