Just when we run out of breath
We trace the line back to pink clouds
Sweeping in blue currents, we're overpowered
Watering the rose of sorrow
Holding on and never letting go
We feel the burn, fools when they pray in church
Blind eyes reading a Bible verse
God help us, life is not good to us
So we think we'll be rewarded in the afterlife
Tears cast on an unknown land
I seen the sun and I thought it was Heaven
Light embracing me like a mother greets her child
Warm and pure, a suffocating wolf
Ecstasy promised
We never hear the end of your complaints
Words falling on deaf ears
I never learned to catch a butterfly
You wind me up in your web of lies
Stringing me along so I don't lose sight
You made a ghost out of me
Now I only come alive at night
I had a vision, I seen the end of days
Sweet dreams of relief
I seen dead boys in graveyards
The sun rising in lonely hearts
So drunk I couldn't believe it
Skin pixelated, an arsonist on fire
Just thinking makes my head hurt
Fading smiles turn into despair
When everything feels lost
I don't know where to go
It all comes flooding back, a slideshow of times
I had forgotten and moved on, thinking
I don't revolve around you
I didn't clear the mess on the table
For two days I laid dying in my sweat
Trying to catch a butterfly but I could never cross the finish line
My bones were corrupted, as strong as obsidian
I remembered the music, pulsating rhythms
Drugs strong enough to knock me out
The good times when everyone was going psycho
Chasing the sun, looking for someone
The grey mist of smoky suburbs
Angel tears lost in the echo of a poem
Soft raindrops falling lightly into pools of coolness
Glowing and radiant skin
In that single moment I missed the feeling of being young
When you don't have to worry about anything.
